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 10) { وَ فِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْاَوْتَادِ : ’’ الْاَوْتَادِ ‘‘ ’’وَتَدٌ‘‘} is the plural, nails of wood or iron, etc. {’’ ذِي الْاَوْتَادِ ‘‘} "Possessor of nails," that is, one with great armies, for whom a large number of nails were always available to pitch tents, or a severe tyrant who, when angered at someone, would have nails driven into their hands and feet.
