Sūrat Al-Baqara · 2 : 85

Q 2:85 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِّنكُم مِّن عَلَيْهِم ۞وَإِنْ وَهُوَ عَلَيْكُمُۥٓ فَمَا مَنْ ذَٰلِكَ مِنكُمُۥٓ إِلَّا فِے إِلَيٰٓ وَمَا عَمَّا

Yet ye it is who slay each other and drive out a party of your people from their homes, supporting one another against them by sin and transgression? - and if they came to you as captives ye would ransom them, whereas their expulsion was itself unlawful for you - Believe ye in part of the Scripture and disbelieve ye in part thereof? And what is the reward of those who do so save ignominy in the life of the world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous doom. For Allah is not unaware of what ye do — 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.

حسْنأه أوجبُ حقٍ على العبد أن يعبد اللّٰه وحده ولا يشرك به شيئا، وأكبر حق بعد حق اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى حق الوالدين، برورهما واجب، والعقوق من الكبائر وبعد ذلك اليتامى من مات أبوه وهو صغير يقول الرسول صلى اللّه عليه وسلم: (أنا وكافل اليتيم كهاتين في الجنة)[31] «والمساكين» من ليس عنده شيء «وَقُولُواْ لِلنَّاس» جميعا « حُسْناً» من الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر والصدق في شأن محمد صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم والرفق بهم (وَأَقِيمُوا أَلصَّلَوةَ وَءَاتُواْ الزَّكَوَةَ) هذا ما عهد اللّٰه إلى بني إسرائيل فقبلتم ذلك (ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ ) أعرضتم عن الوفاء به (إِلَّ قَلِيلًا مِنكُمْ وَأَنتُم مُعْرِضُون كابائكم (وَإذَ اخَذُّنَا مِيقَفَكُمْ) وقلنا (لَا تَسْفِكُونَ دِمَآءَكُمْ) تريقونها بقتل بعضكم بعضا (وَلَاَ تُخْرِجُونَ أَنْمُسَكْم صِ دِيْرِكُمْ ثُمَّ أَفْرَرْتُمْ) قبلتم ذلك الميثاق (وَأَنتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ) على أنفسكم (ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنفُسَكُمْ) بقتل بعضكم بعضا (وَتُخْرِجُونَ …

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.
