Q 26:213 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

فَلَا مَعَ مِنَ

Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed 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.

(وَمَا يَنْبَغِ) يصح (لَهُمْ) أن ينزلوا به (وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حتى الشياطين لو أرادوا إنزال كتاب ما قدروا على أن يأتوا بمثل هذا القرآن (إِنَّهُمْ عَيِ السَّمْعِ) لِكلام الملائكة ( لَمَعْزُولُونَ) بالشهب (فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اَ۬للَّهِ إِلَٰهاً اٰخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ اَ۬لْمُعَذَّبِينَۖ) إن فعلت ذلك (وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ) نزل على النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم، وقد أنذرهم جهارا وهم بنو هاشم وبنو المطلب، استشار سيدنا عليا بن أبي طالب كرم اللّٰه وجهه قال له تصنع لهم طعاما وشرابا وتدعوهم 1، فدعاهم وصنع لهم طعاما فاجتمعوا في بيت النبي فأكلوا

بخير الدنيا والآخرة، وقد أمرني اللّٰه أن أدعوكم إليه، فأيكم يؤازرني على هذا الأمر، على أن يكون أخي» وكذا وكذا؟ قال: فأحجم القوم عنها جميعا، وقلت وإني لأحدثهم سنا، وأرمصهم عينا، وأعظمهم بطنا، وأخمشهم ساقا: أنا يا نبي اللّٰه أكون وزيرك، فأخذ برقبتي، ثم قال: «إن هذا أخي» وكذا وكذا، «فاسمعوا له وأطيعوا»، قال: فقام القوم يضحكون، ويقولون لأبي طالب: قد أمرك أن تسمع لابنك وتطيع. تفسير الطبري: من عند قوله تعالى "فلا تدع مع اللّٰه إلها آخر".

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.
