Sūrat Al-Shuʿarāʾ · 26 : 52

Q 26:52 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

إِلَيٰ مُوس۪يٰٓ أَنِ إِنَّكُم

And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued — 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.

اليوم الموعود وسألهم: إذا غلبتكم ستؤمنون بالله؟ قالوا: نعم، نحن لا يغلبنا ساحر أبدا عندما تغلبنا نعلم أن هذا الأمر إلهي ووجدهم فرعون على هذا الحديث ، فلهذا قال "إِنَّ هَذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَكَرْتَمُوهُ مِى الْمَدِينَةِ" قال فهمت أمركم الآن فعلتم مكرا لتأخذوا مني ملك مصر فقط - ما أعز عنده ملك مصر - «فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ» (لاَ فَطِعَرَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَارْجَلَكَم من خِلْمٍ يد كل واحد اليمنى ورجله اليسرى (وَلَاصَلِّبَنَّكُمْوَ أَجْمَعِينَ) سأصلبنكم على الجذوع وأقتلكم بعد ذلك. هددهم كعادة الجبابرة مع أهل اللّٰه ( قَالُوا لا ضَيْرُه لا ضرر علينا في ذلك، افعل ما شئت نحن لا يضرنا شيء (إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ) نحن إذا متنا نرجع إلى اللّه تبارك وتعالى، لا نبالي بما فعلت، (...)2 {إِنَّا نَطْمَعْ أَنْ يَغْمِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنا خَطَيْنَآ أَى كُنَّام بأن كنا ( أَوَّلَ الْمُومِنِينَ) في زماننا. (وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَى مُوسِىّ) بعد سنين، قيل ثلاثين سنة أو أربعين سنة، أقام موسى بينهم يدعوهم بآيات …

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.
