Q 29:33 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَلَمَّآ أَن لُوطاࣰ بِهِمْ بِهِمْ لَا وَلَا اِنَّا إِلَّا مِنَ

And when Our messengers came unto Lot, he was troubled upon their account, for he could not protect them; but they said: Fear not, nor grieve! Lo! we are to deliver thee and thy household, (all) save thy wife, who is of those who stay behind — 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-ʿAnkabūt begins at vol. 7, p. 145 (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.

يقع في الأمة والقتال طلب النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم أن لا يقع ولكن سلطان الألوهية ما ساعد في ذلك. «قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لُوطاً» (قَالُواْ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمْ بِمَى فِيهَا لَتْتَجِّيّنَهُ و) لوط سينجو (وَأَهْلَهُ ) كل من تبعه (إِلاَّا إمْرَأَتَهُ ) واهلة (كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَبِرِينُ) هما زوجتا نبي كل منهما كافرة: واعلة بالعين زوجة نوح كافرة، وواهلة بالهاء زوجة لوط [1] أيضا كافرة «كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَبِرِينَ» الباقين في العذاب (وَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطاࣰ س۬ےٓءَ بِهِمْ))، حزن بسببهم (وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعَا)، اللّٰه يتجلى كيف شاء، التجلي واحد. ولكنه جاء بشرى لإبراهيم وحزنا للوط. الملائكة نزلوا بإبراهيم فأتاه البشرى، ولما أتوا للوط سيء بهم، مظهر التجلي واحد، هذا تجلى له الجمال وهذا تجلى له الجلال، أتوا لإبراهيم فاستبشر هم، وأتوا للوط فحزن بهم «وَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطاࣰ س۬ےٓءَ بِهِمْ» حزن بسببهم «وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا» {( وَقَالُواْ لا تَخَفْ وَلاَ تَحْزَنِ إِنَّا …

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.
