Sūrat Al-Nūr · 24 : 58

Q 24:58 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

اَ۬لذِينَ اُ۬لذِينَ وَالذِينَ لَمْ مِنكُمْ مِّن مِّنَ وَمِنۢ لَّكُمْۖ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ عَلَيْكُمۖ عَلَيٰ كَذَٰلِكَ لَكُمُ

O ye who believe! Let your slaves, and those of you who have not come to puberty, ask leave of you at three times (before they come into your presence): Before the prayer of dawn, and when ye lay aside your raiment for the heat of noon, and after the prayer of night. Three times of privacy for you. It is no sin for them or for you at other times, when some of you go round attendant upon others (if they come into your presence without leave). Thus Allah maketh clear the revelations for you. Allah is Knower, Wise — 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.

"وَكَذَالِكَ أَخْذٌ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقْرِىٰ وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ و أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ" (إن اللّٰه ليملي للظالم حتى إذا أخذه لم يفلته) (يَأَيُّهَا ألذِينَ ءَامَنُوا سبب نزول هذه الآية أن الناس كانوا في بداية الإسلام يدخل بعضهم بيوت بعض في أي وقت شاء، وليس عندهم في ذلك الوقت يسر، ليس عندهم أبواب ولا ستار ولا شيء، فربما يدخل الولد على والديه ويرى ما لا يحب أن يرى، فأنزل اللّه هذه الآية «يَأَيِّهَا ألذِيسَ ءامَنُوا» (لِيَسْتَٰذِنكُمُ اُ۬لذِينَ مَلَكَتَ اَيْمَٰنُكُمْ) من العبيد والإماء لا يدخلون عليكم إلا بالاسئذان (وَالذِينَ لَمْ يَبْلَغُواْ الْحَلْمَ مِنكُمْ ) كذلك الأولاد الصغار الأحرار إذا عرفوا أمر النساء لا يدخلون إلا بإذن (ثَلَتَ مَرَّتِ) في ثلاثة أوقات، هذه الثلاثة الأوقات لابد فيها من الاستئذان قبل الدخول (.صِ قَبْلِ صَلَوَةِ الْعَجْرِ) في الليل، لأن الليل وقت المبيت ووقت الإيواء إلى الأهالي (وَحِينَ تَضَعُونَ ثِيَابَكُم مِّنَ اَ۬لظَّهِيرَةِ) كذلك وقت القيلولة، وقت …

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.
