Q 2:230 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

فَإِن فَلَا لَهُۥ مِنۢ حَتَّيٰ فَإِن فَلَا عَلَيْهِمَآ أَنْ إِن أَنْ وَتِلْكَ

And if he hath divorced her (the third time), then she is not lawful unto him thereafter until she hath wedded another husband. Then if he (the other husband) divorce her it is no sin for both of them that they come together again if they consider that they are able to observe the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah. He manifesteth them for people who have knowledge — 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-Baqara begins at vol. 1, p. 54 (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.

الرجل لا يريد طلاق امرأته والمرأة نشزت وأبت البقاء مع الزوج حتى تحققا أنَّهما عجرا عن إقامة حدود اللّٰه بالبقاء معا فيجوز الخلع أن تفتدي المرأة نفسها من البعل بالمال سواء الصداق أو أقل أو أكثر هذا هو السبب في الخلع. جاءت إحدى الصحابيات إلى الني صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم وكانت صالحة قالت له يا رسول اللّٰه أنا زوجي لا أنقم منه دينا ولا شيئا ويقوم بالواجب عليه إلا أني لم أعد أحبه. قال لها: ما السبب في ذلك؟ قالت: لا شيء إلا أني رأيته مقبلا مع أصحابه فنظرت إليه فإذا هو أقصرهم وأقبحهم وجها ولكن ما رأيت فيه شيئا ينكر إلا أني لا أبقى معه. قال الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم: أصدقك بمال؟ قالت: نعم أصدقني بحديقة نخل، قال: تردين إليه حديقته؟ قالت: نعم وأزيد عليها قال صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم: ردي إليه حديقته فردت الحديقة إلى الزوج وطلقت هذا هو الأصل في الخلع[39] (تِلْك) الأحكام المذكورة (حُدُودُ اُ۬للَّهِۖ فَلَا تَعْتَدُوهَاۖ وَمَنْ يَّتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اَ۬للَّهِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ اُ۬لظَّٰلِمُونَۖ فَإِن …

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.
