Those who have earned the Garden on that day will be better in their home and happier in their place of noonday rest — 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 →

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.

بل يجدون ما يخافون في ذلك اليوم بخلاف المؤمنين فلهم البشرى من الملائكة بالجنة، يبشرهم الملائكة بالجنة، والكفار لا يرون بشارة في ذلك اليوم، فعلى هذا ينبغي أن لا يستعجلوا ذلك اليوم (وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْراً محْجُورا ) على عادتِهِم، كان قريش إذا نزلت بِهم شدة يقولون «حِجْراً مَحْجُوراً» أي عوذا معاذا يستعيذون من الملائكة هذه رقية عندهم «حجْراً مَحْجُوراً»، كلما رأوا ما يخافون يقولون هذه الكلمة ولكن يوم القيامة سيقولونها كثيرا لأتّم سيرون ما يخافون، (وَقَدِمْنَا) عمدنا (إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُواْ مِنْ عَمَلٍ) من الحمر كصدقة وصلة رحم وقرى ضيف وإغاثة ملهوف في الدنيا (بَجَعَلْنَٰهُ هَبَآءَ مَنْشُوراً) الكَفار يقومون بأعمال الخير في بعض الأوقات كصلة الرحم والصدقات وقرى الضيف وإغائة لملهوف، هذه لو كانوا مسلمين لكانت قربات، ولكن القربة شرطها الإيمان، لابد أن يسبقها الإيمان، شرط في الباقي، أشهد أن لا إله إلا اللّٰه شرط في جميع أعمال الخير، من لم يقل هذه الكلمة فكل ما عمل من خير يصير هباء منثورا (( اصْحَبُ …
Read in context →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.
