Q 27:82 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

۞وَإِذَا عَلَيْهِمُۥٓ لَهُمْ مِّنَ إِنَّ لَا

And when the word is fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them because mankind had not faith in Our revelations — 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-Naml begins at vol. 7, p. 85 (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.

( لاَّ مَنْ يُوص بِتَاتَيِنَا ) القرآن (بَهَم مُسْلِمَونَ) مخلصون بتوحيد اللّٰه (وَاذَا وَقَعَ أَلْقَوْلَ اْهَ) حق العذاب أي ينزل يهم في جملة الكفار ( أحْرَجْنَا لَهَمْ دَابَّةُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ كَلِيْهَمْ ) من علامات الساعة إذا أراد اللّٰه بهذا العالم التغير الكبير ستخرج دابة من الأرض « تَكَلِّمَهُمْ » تكلم الموجودين حين خروجها بالعربية وبالعجمية بالعربية للعرب والعجمية للعجم (إِنَ ألنَاسَ) كفار مكة ( كَاتَوْ بِتَاتَيِنَا لاَ يُوقِنُونَ)) أخبر الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم أنه سينزل عيسى بن مريم بينما يطوف بالبيت والناس معه إذ تحركت الأرض فإذا يجبل الصفا يتمخض عن دابة تخرج من الصفا تخرج ومدة خروجها ثلاثة أيام فيفزع الناس فبعضهم يبكون وبعضهم يصلون، تقول للمصلي أطل ما شئت فإني عندما أخرج سأختم على أنفك، تخرج ومعها عصا موسى وخاتم سليمان تختم كل إنسان لقيته بوجهه، أما المسلم فيكتب في وجهه مؤمن بالله، والكافر كافر بالله يقرؤه كل من رآه حتى إن الناس يعيشون في ذلك الوقت ولا ترى إنسانا إلا وعرفت هل …

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.
