Sūrat Al-Shuʿarāʾ · 26 : 122

Q 26:122 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَإِنَّ لَهُوَ

And lo, thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful — 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-Shuʿarāʾ begins at vol. 7, p. 52 (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.

من قومه ( إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لاَيَةٌ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرْهُم مُومِنِينٌ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ كَذَّبَتْ عَادُّ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْوَ أَخُوهُمْ هُودّ آلاَ تَتَّفُولَ إِنّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ آَمِينٌ جَاتَّفُواْ اللَّةَ وَأَطِيعُونٌ وَمَا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اجْرٌ إِنَ آجْرِىَ إِلَّ عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَلَمِينَ) تقدم مثله (أَتَبْنُونَ بِكْلِّ ريع) مكان مرتفع (ايَةً) بناء علما للمارة (تَعْبَثُونَ) تبنون بناء عاليا (وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ بركا تحت الأرض للماء (لَعَلَّكُمْ) كأنكم (تَخْلُدُونَ) تريدون الخلود (وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم) بضرب أو قتل ( بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينٌ) من غير رأفة، وصفهم بثلاثة أوصاف: هم اشتغلوا بالبناء وبناء المصانع كأنهم يريدون الخلود في الدنيا وهذا من صفات اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى، وإذا بطشوا بطشوا جبارين، وهذا من صفات اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى فاستحقوا الهلاك لما نازعوا اللّٰه في صفاته، (الكبرياء ردائي والعظمة إزاري من نازعني في شيء منهما ألقيته في …

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. Passages 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.
