Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
The tanween of {ذِيْ قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِيْنٍ : ’’ ذِيْ قُوَّةٍ ‘‘} is for magnification, meaning "the one with great power." In Surah An-Najm, this attribute of Jibreel (peace be upon him) is also mentioned, as He said: « ذِيْ عَلَّمَهٗ شَدِيْدُ الْقُوٰى (5) ذُوْ مِرَّةٍ » [ النجم : 6،5 ] "He was taught by one mighty in power, one of great strength." The mention of Jibreel (peace be upon him)'s strength here is because, due to his strength, Satan flees from him, just as he fled upon seeing him at Badr. (See Al-Anfal: 48) The meaning is that, because of Jibreel (peace be upon him)'s strength, Satan has no involvement in his delivery of the message, and due to his trustworthiness, there is no possibility of any betrayal in this delivery of the message. Therefore, without any doubt or suspicion, this is the speech of Allah Almighty. (Summary of Ahsan al-Tafasir)
