Sūrat Al-Baqara · 2 : 235

Q 2:235 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَلَا عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا بِهِۦ مِنْ اَ۬وَ فِےٓ أَنَّكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا اِلَّآ أَن ۞وَلَا حَتَّيٰ أَنَّ مَا فِےٓ أَنَّ

There is no sin for you in that which ye proclaim or hide in your minds concerning your troth with women. Allah knoweth that ye will remember them. But plight not your troth with women except by uttering a recognised form of words. And do not consummate the marriage until (the term) prescribed is run. Know that Allah knoweth what is in your minds, so beware of Him; and know that Allah is Forgiving, Clement — 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.

قصد نكاحهن ( عَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ سَتَذْكُرُونَهُنَّ) بالخطبة ولا تصبرون عنهن فأباح لكم التعريض (وَلَكِن لاَ تَوَاعِدُوهُنَّ سِرَا) نكاحا[45] (اِلَّآ أَن تَقُولُواْ قَوْلاࣰ مَّعْرُوفاࣰۖ)) ما عرف شرعا من التعريض فلكم ذلك (وَلَا تَعْزِمُواْ عُقْدَةَ اَ۬لنِّكَاحِ) على عقده (حَتَّىٰ يَبْلَغَ الْكِتَبُ المكتوب من العدة (أَجَلَةُ) بأن ينتهي (وَاعْلَمُوَا أَنَّ أللَّهَ يَعْلَمْ مَا قِ أَنمسكُمْ من العزم وغيره (بَاحْذَرُوه) أن يعاقبكم (وَاعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ غَفُورٌ) لمن يحذره (حَلِيمٌ) بتأخير العقوبة عن مستحقها. هذه هي عدة الوفاة أربعة أشهر وعشر ليال نَسخت "مَتَاعاً إِلَى اُلْحَوْلِ". كانت العدة أولا سنة تامة فنسختها الآية التي سبقتها في النظام من حكمة القرآن، والعلة في ذلك أن اللّٰه خلق آدم أربعين سنة وهو طين لازب، وأربعين سنة من حمأ مسنون، وأربعين سنة كالفخار، فهذه أربعون ثلاث مرات فنفخ فيه الروح.[46] هذا أصل خلقة آدم، لما أمر اللّه الروح أن يدخل في جسم آدم امتنع الروح حتى قال …

الروح حتى بلغ ركبتيه أراد القيام فلهذا خاطبه الحق " خُلِقَ الإنسَ مِنْ عَجَلِ"[47] فما زال بستعجل أولاد آدم، فلما عمه الروح قام يمشي وصار حيوانا بعدما كان جمادا.

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.
