Q 16:106 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

مَن مِنۢ إِلَّا مَنُ وَلَٰكِن مَّن فَعَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ وَلَهُمْ

Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom — 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 Al-Naḥl begins at vol. 5, p. 124 (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.

قتلوا سمية لما آمنت بالنبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم طعنها أبو جهل بحربة [1] في قُبُلها حتى خرجت من صلبها وماتت، فهي أول شهيدة في سبيل اللّه، وياسر كذلك قتلوه، وعمار أوقدوا نارا وقيدوه وجعلوه فيها حتى أن شحم جسده هو الذي أطفأ النار، وضربوه ضربا وقالوا إنهم لا يتركونه حتى يكفر بمحمد صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم، فلما اشتد به الضرب قال لهم نعم، فتركوه، قالوا للني صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم: عمار ارتد، قال الرسول صلى الّه علي وسلم لا، عمار ممتلئ إيمانا من قرنه إلى قدمه، فأتى عمار وقال: عذبت وخفت أن أموت فقلت لهم كلمة طلبا لسلامة نفسي، قال له النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم: لا بأس عليك بيد عادوا فعد لهم بذلك فلا يضرك [2] فنزلت (مَن كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِيمَٰنِهِۦٓ) الذين ارتدوا

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.
