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 4){ وَ الَّيْلِ اِذَا يَسْرِ : ’’ يَسْرِ ‘‘} The original is {’’يَسْرِيْ‘‘}, for the correspondence of the verse endings, the ya was omitted and the kasrah was kept on the ra. {’’سَرٰي يَسْرِيْ سُرًي‘‘} (ض) means to travel at night. In Surah Al-Muddathir it is said: « وَ الَّيْلِ اِذْ اَدْبَرَ» [ المدثر : ۳۳ ] "And by the night when it departs." That is, the departing night is a great proof of the establishment of the Resurrection.
