Q 18:47 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

فَلَمْ مِنْهُمُۥٓ

And (bethink you of) the Day when we remove the hills and ye see the earth emerging, and We gather them together so as to leave not one of them behind — 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-Kahf begins at vol. 6, p. 3 (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.

العرش "الذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُو يُسَبِّحُونَ"، والحمد لله أول من قالها آدم، ولا إله إلا اللّه أول من قالها نوح عليه الصلاة والسلام، والله أكبر أول من قالها إبراهيم عليه الصلاة والسلام، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله أول من قالها محمد صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم، هي الباقيات الصالحات خير من الدنيا وما فيها، وقيل الباقيات الصالحات الصلوات الخمس 1 وقيل أركان الإسلام الخمسة 2 والقرآن يسع هذا كلا. «خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ» تَوَاباً وَخَيْرٌ آمَلًا ) ما يأمله الإنسان ويرجوه عند اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى. و اذكر ( يَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْحِبَالَ ) يوم القيامة تذهب الجبال عن وجه الأرض فتصير هباء منبثا (وَتَرَى الأَرْضَ بَارِزَةَ) تصير الأرض منكشفة ليس عليها شيء، سارت عنها الجبال وتخلت عما في بطنها من الأموات (وَحَشَرْنَٰهُمْ) المؤمنين والكافرين (بَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ) نترك ( مِنْهُمْوَ أَحَداً وَعُرِضُواْ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَبّا بعد ذلك دعوا إلى البعث إلى الحساب مصطفين كل أمة صف يقال لهم ( لَفَدْ …

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.
