Q 3:153 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

۞إِذْ وَلَا عَلَيٰٓ فِےٓ لِّكَيْلَا عَلَيٰ مَا وَلَا مَآ بِمَا

When ye climbed (the hill) and paid no heed to anyone, while the messenger, in your rear, was calling you (to fight). Therefor He rewarded you grief for (his) grief, that (He might teach) you not to sorrow either for that which ye missed or for that which befell you. Allah is Informed of what ye do — 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 Āl ʿImrān begins at vol. 2, p. 34 (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.

عليه وسلم بالمخالفة، سئل عمر هل فررت يوم أحد؟ قال: نعم، كلنا فر إلا الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم، رأيتني وأنا أعدو كأني وعِل. ذلك اليوم كلهم فر إلا طلحة بن عبيد لن فقط هو الذي بقي مع الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم ولكن عمر وأيا بكر وعبد الرحن وعليا سرعان ما عادوا إلى الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم وحملوه وصعدوا به الجبل فلما رأه الصحابة رجعوا جميعا (لَكَيْلا تَحْرَنُواْ عَلَى مَا بَاتَكُمْ) من الغنيمة (وَلاَ مَا أَصَنْبَكُمْ) من القتل (وَاللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَمّ أَمَنَةً) أرسل اللّٰه أمنا (وتَقاماً يَغْبُىٰ طَائِفَةً مِنكَمْ ) لما رجع الصحابة وواجهوا الكفار أرسل اللّه عليهم أمنا فكلهم ينعر في موقف القتال فلما رأى الكفار هذا قالوا هؤلاء ليسوا بأناس من ينعس في هذا المقام ففروا فقط (وَطَائِفَةٌ قَدَ اهَمَّتْهُمْوَ أَنُسُهُمْ) حملتهم على الهم فلا رغبة لهم إلا نجاتها ( يَظَنُونَ بِاللَّهِ) ظنا ( غَيْرَ أْلْحَقِّ ظَنَّ ألْجَاهِلِيَّةُ كظن الجاهلية …

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.
