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.
(Ayah 36){ هَلْ ثُوِّبَ …:} The disbelievers have received full recompense in Hell for whatever they used to do; there remained only their mockery of the Muslims, and today, with the Muslims’ counter-mockery, that recompense has also been completed. In {’’ هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ ‘‘}, the question is also to humiliate the disbelievers, not to seek information. For similar verses, see Surah Al-Mu’minun, verses (108 to 111).
