Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

23. And his companion (the angel) will say, "This (record) is ready with me [27]."

[27] There can be two meanings: one is clear from the translation, that the witnessing angel will present the criminal and say that both the criminal and the testimony are present. The second meaning is that the driving angel will appear in the court of Allah and say that the criminal who was in my custody is present for the hearing.
