He said: O Noah! Lo! he is not of thy household; lo! he is of evil conduct, so ask not of Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge. I admonish thee lest thou be among the ignorant — 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 →

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.

أن ترسو السفينة عليه: الطور وأحد وقبيس وثبير كلهم يرى أنه هو الذي يستحق هذا، فتواضع الجودي فقال إنه يعلم أنه لا يستحق هذا، فلهذا رست السفينة على الجودي، جبل صغير متواضع جدا بالقرب من الموصل. من تواضع لله رفعه اللّٰه ومن تكبر وضعه اللّٰه وَنَادِى نُوحٌ رَبَّهُ و جَفَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ آبْنِ) كنعان ومِنَ آهْلِ) وقد وعدتني نجاهم (وَانَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقِّ) الذي لا خلف فيه (وَأَنتَ أَحْكَمُ الْحَٰكِمِينَ) أعلمهم وأعدهم قَالَ) تعالى ويَنُوحُ إِنَّهُو لَيْسَ مِنَ اهْلِكَ) الناجين، إنه ليس من أهلك الذين ينجون أو إنه ليس من أهل دينك إِنَّهُ ) أي سؤالك إياي نجاته (عَمَلّ غَيْرُ صَلِحْ) فإنه كافر ولا نجاة للكافرين. الأنبياء معصومون ولكن يصدر منهم ما لا يليق بمنصبهم وهو سيئاتهم. حسنات الأبرار سيئات المقربين 1. البشرية اقتضت منه الشفقة على ابنه وطلب نجاته يظن أن ذلك يمكن، فلما عوتب بأن ذلك لا سبيل إليه رجع إلى اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى بالتوبة، ولا ذنب حقيقة إلا إذا كان حسنات الأبرار سيئات المقربين. أو …
Not Shaykh Ibrāhīm’s words. Students and successors reading the same verse — kept below and apart, because a school’s reading is evidence of transmission, not of what the master said.

rev. July 2018 · Arabic · Question 8 · tr. Saʿīd Simone Nardella & Adnan Wood-Smith · answered in writing
Or should I cut them off by cutting myself off from their forefathers, leave them and whatever they are currently involved in, and say in regards to them what Allah said to Nuh regarding his disobedient son: “Indeed, he is not from your family—indeed, his actions were not righteous” (Qur’an 11:46)?
Muḥammad al-Mishrī, not Shaykh Ibrāhīm — the school reading, in a responsum. Question 8.
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.
