(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us — 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.

وجد الأمن من عند ربه أنه لا يُقتل قَاذْهَبَا أنت وأخوك (بَايَتِنَا إِنَّا مَعَكَم مُسْتيعونَ ما تقولون، أرسلهم اللّه تبارك وتعانى وأرسل معهم المعية "إِتَّيِ مَعَنَا أَسْنَعَ وَأَرِى"، المقربون يرون معية اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى، والعارفون يرون حضور اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى حتى تحول الحضرة بينهم وبين المعية فلا يشاهدون المعية، بل يشاهدون الحق تبارك وتعالى ضوجَائِيَا مِزْعَوْنَ بَفُولَا إنّا ه كلا منا ( رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَلَمِينَ) جاء موسى إلى مصر وهارون في مصر في ذلك الوقت، فدخل عليه وعلمه برسالة ربه له، فسار هارون مع موسى إلى فرعون فقالا له: كلانا رسول اللّٰه (أَنَ اَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِےٓ إِسْرَآءِيلَۖ)) إلى الشام كان فرعون استرقّ بني إسرائيل وهم ستمائة ألف مدة أربعمائة! سنة يعملون له كل ما أراد، طلب موسى وهارون أن يخلي سبيلهم، يترك استرقاقهم ويتركهم يهاجرون مع موسى إلى أرض الشام. جاءا إلى باب فرعون في الليل فدقا عليه الباب، وهذا لا يقدر عليه أحد، ففزع الحجبة خدام فرعون وقالوا من أنتما؟ قال …
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.
