اِ۬لذِينَ لَهُمُ إِنَّ قَدْ لَكُمْ
Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust — 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 →

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.
Each mark is one work in which Shaykh Ibrāhīm engages this verse, placed by date of composition. Hollow marks are loci we know of but cannot yet show.

"ذَا النُّوبِ"، هو ملك الحوت هنا، والحوت كبر حتى صار نونا. وفي سورة "ت وَالْفَلَمِ" حوت فقط وكاد الحوت أن يملكه. صاحب الحوت كأنه تابع للحوت صاحب له فقط. هذا ذكر عظيم "لَاَّ إِلَةَ إِلَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ الظِّلِمِينُ" من مرض وذكره أربعين مرة، إن مات مات شهيدا أي دخل الجنة، ومن كان في غم وذكر هذه الكلمات إن اللّٰه ينجيه من غمه. قال أحد الصالحين: عجبت من أحد نزل به غم وهو يعرف "لاَّ إِلَةَ إِلَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَنَةَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّلِمِينُ" ولم يذكرها وهو يسمع كلام الله "بَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُو وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ مِنَ أُلْعَمّ ، وأحد تُوُعّد بالعذاب وهو يعرف "وَأُجَوِضٌ أَمْرِىَ إِلَى اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ" ولم يذكرها وهو يسمع اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى يقول: " جَوَفِيْهُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِ مَا مَكَرُوا"، وأحد هدده أعداؤه وهو يعرف "حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيل" ولم يقلها وهو يسمع اللّٰه يقول "وَقَالُواْ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنَعْمَ ألْوَكِيلٌ جَانقَلَبُواْ …

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.
