Q 29:58 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَالذِينَ مِّنَ مِن فِيهَاۖ

Those who believe and do good works, them verily We shall house in lofty dwellings of the Garden underneath which rivers flow. There they will dwell secure. How sweet the guerdon of the toilers — 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.

محالة (ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُون ٣ وبعد الموت أيضا لم ينته الأمر لابد أن ترجع إلى اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى، الموت هو البلية العظمى، وكل مولود لابد له من الموت، والأمر ليس مقتصرا علي الموت فقط، إنما بعد الموت ترجع إلى اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى فيحاسبك على كل كبير وصغي الناس لابد لهم من الرجوع إلى الله، إما رجوع اختيار أو رجوع قهر واضطرار، من رجع إلى اللّٰه بالفرار من كل ما سواه، وإفناء النفس في وجود الحق تبارك وتعالى هذا رجع إلى الى اختيارا، إذا عاش فهو ميت وإن مات فهو حي، فلهذا يقال: موتوا قبل أن تموتواا ويقول عيسى عليه الصلاة والسلام (لن يدخل ملكوت اللّٰه من لم يولد مرتين) 2 إذا مات الإنسان رجع إلى اللّٰه إما قهرا وإما لطفا. إذاً ما يمنعك من الهجرة؟ (وَالذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم مِّنَ اَ۬لْجَنَّةِ غُرَفاࣰ تَجْرِے مِن تَحْتِهَا اَ۬لَانْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ نِعْمَ أَجْرُ اُ۬لْعَٰمِلِينَۖ) في الجة غرف يتطلع إليها أهل الجنة كما يتطلع أهل الأرض إلى النجوم …

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.
