Q 10:84 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

مُوس۪يٰ إِن فَعَلَيْهِ إِن

And Moses said: O my people! If ye have believed in Allah then put trust in Him, if ye have indeed surrendered (unto Him) — Pickthall

Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse (d. 1975) read the whole Qurʾān aloud at Medina Baye over fifty-six sessions between ẓuhr and ʿaṣr in Ramaḍān 1383/1964, and his students wrote those sessions down as Fī Riyāḍ al-Tafsīr. He comes back to the same āya elsewhere — in the fatwās, the Ḥikam, the poetry — decades apart. About the tafsīr →

In the printed edition: Sūrat Yūnus begins at vol. 4, p. 158 (Tūnis 2022, 10 vols.)

The āya above is Warsh ʿan Nāfiʿ, the rasm of the printed edition. The root behind each underlined word comes from a Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim corpus, realigned to this Warsh text word by word; 125 of the 6,236 āyāt differ in word count between the two riwāyāt, and those were aligned rather than assumed. A word carries no underline where the corpus supplies no root. Lexicon entries are a reading aid and carry no page reference; the edition does not cite them. Page references elsewhere on this site follow the ten-volume Tunis 2022 printing this site was transcribed from; published scholarship on this text cites the six-volume Tunis 2010 printing, whose pagination is different.

صدره ويتركه مقابل الشمس لا ياكل ولا يشرب حتى يموت 1 (وَانَ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍ) متكبر يِ الأرْضِ أرض مصر (وَاتَهُ لَسِنَ الْمُسْرِهِينَ)) المتجاوزين الحد بادعاء الربوبية، بفى وطفى حتى ادعى الألوهية (وَقَالَ مُوس۪يٰ يَٰقَوْمِ إِن كُنتُمُۥٓ ءَامَنتُم بِاللَّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوٓاْ إِن كُنتُم مُّسْلِمِينَۖ فَقَالُواْ عَلَي اَ۬للَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَاۖ رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةࣰ لِّلْقَوْمِ اِ۬لظَّٰلِمِينَۖ) قبل أن يدعوا اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى قدموا التوكل على الله، ثقتهم بالله تبارك وتعالى فطلبوا من اللّٰه هذا الطلب «لاً تَجْعَلْنَا مِئْنَةً لِلْفَوْمِ الظَّلِمِينَ» (وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ اَ۬لْقَوْمِ اِ۬لْكٰ۪فِرِينَۖ) يقول الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم: تعرف إلى اللّٰه في الرخاء يعرفك في الشدة2، إذا توكل العبد على اللّٰه حق التوكل وطلب اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى مضطرا إليه، فإن اللّٰه يستجيب له في أسرع مدة، ولكن إذا كان القلب لم يتوكل على اللّٰه بأن يقول اللسان: يا اللّٰه والقلب معتمد …

Entries are grouped by what Shaykh Ibrāhīm is doing with the verse, then ordered oldest first inside each group, so the same words can be seen carrying different work across a career. Every entry names the witness it comes from and how well attested the attribution is. Loci that are known but not yet available are listed rather than hidden. Beyond Fī Riyāḍ al-Tafsīr, 156 āyāt have so far been indexed from his other writings — the Ḥikam, the fatwās, Kāshif al-Ilbās, theQanābīl, the Tafsīr Maʿānī cassettes. A verse with nothing under this heading has not been searched in them and found wanting; it has not been searched.
