Q 28:6 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

لَهُمْ فِے فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَٰنَ مِنْهُم مَّا

And to establish them in the earth, and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts that which they feared from them — 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-Qaṣaṣ begins at vol. 7, p. 114 (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.

النساء كل من ولدت ولدا ذكرا فليذبح، فبقوا يذبحون حتى ذبح تسعين ألف مولودا على عشرين ألف صبي، مائة وعشرة آلاف ذبحهم لطلب موسى، ولسان الألوهية يخاطبه إن هذا المولود ستربيه على فراشك في بيتك على رغمك ويكون هلاكك بسببه { إِنَّهُو كَان مِنَ التجْيدِين فرعون من المفسدين (وَتَرِيدُ أَن نَمَلَّ عَلَى أَلذِينَ اسْتُصْعِبُواْ مِي الاأرْضِ وَتَجْعَلَهمَنَ أَيَمَّةٌ والله تبارك وتعالى قضى في سابق علمه أن هؤلاء الضعفاء بني إسرائيل سيمن عليهم ويجعل الدولة لهم على رغم فرعون وهامان، (وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَرِثِينَ) ملك فرعون (وَنُمَكِّرَ لَهُمْ مِي الاَرْضِ) أرض مصر والشام بعد هلاك فرعون ملكوا الشام ومصر (وَنُرِىَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُم ) من بني إسرائيل (مَا كَانُواْ يَحْذَرُونَ) هذا الذي كانوا يخافون من المولود الذي يذهب ملكهم على يديه أراهم الله ذلك عيانا ( وَأَوْحَيْنَاهَ وحي إلهام أو منام (إِلَىَّ اُمّ مُوبىّ) أوحى اللّٰه إلى أم موسى اسمها يوحانذ [2] وموسى هو المولود المذكور ولم …

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.
