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 word 'فَكِهِيْنَ' is the plural of 'فَكِهٌ' and is on the pattern of {’’فَرِحٌ‘‘}, those who make jokes and witty remarks to make others laugh, those who engage in cheerful conversations, that is, even while returning home, they would make the believers a topic of conversation, make many jokes about them, engage in cheerful conversations, and declare them misguided.
