Q 24:56 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

لَعَلَّكُمْ

Establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey the messenger, that haply ye may find mercy — 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-Nūr begins at vol. 6, p. 190 (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.

مبتلى بالإنكار فيما يتحققه من سره[1]. لم يقل إلا الحق والناس يتكالبون على الإنكار على هذا الذي قال، وألف ابن العربي الحاتمي كتابا سماه: عنقاء مُغرب في خاتم الأولياء وشمس المغرب، ذكر أن للأولياء خاتما ولوّح إلى مقام الكتمية بذكر الشمس لأن الشمس لا يُتحقق النظر فيها حقيقة، وقال في كتابه: إنما جعله اللّٰه في المغرب لأن المغرب محل أسرار اللّٰه والكتم، أي أن اللّٰه بعث الأنبياء جميعا من أول الدهر إلى آخر الدهر ما وصل نبي إلى هذه الأرض، بل جعل هذه الأرض كأنّها محل كتم، إذا أراد أن يكتم شيئا أتى به إلى هذه الأرض. «وَعَدَ اللَّهُ أَلذِيَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّلِحَٰتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ كَمَا إسْتَخْلَفَ الذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيْمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمْ أَلذِى إرْتَضىٰ لَهُمْ وَلَيْبَدِلَنَّهُم مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْهِهِم أَمْنَاً يَعْبُدْونَنِه لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ شَيئاً وَمَى كَبَرَ بَعْدَ ذَالِكَ بَهوْلَيِكَ هُمُ الْبَسِفُونُ» قلنا أول من كفر قتلة عثمان ( …

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.
