Sūrat Āl ʿImrān · 3 : 94

Q 3:94 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

فَمَنِ عَلَي مِنۢ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ

And whoever shall invent a falsehood after that concerning Allah, such will be wrong-doers — 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.

(ص قَبْلِ أن تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرِيَةُ وهذا قبل نزول التوراة فُلْ قَاتُواْ بِالتَّوْرِيَةِ قَاتْلُوهَا) ليتبين صدق قولكم إِى كُنتُمْ صَدِقِين فبهتوا قَمَى إِمْتَرِى عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ) ظهور الحجة بأن التحريم إنما كان من جهة يعقوب لا على عهد إبراهيم (قَأُوْلَبِكَ هُمُ الظِّلِمُونُ قَلْ صَدَقَ ألَّهُ ى في هذا كجميع ما أخبر به (اتَّبِعُوأ مِلَّةَ إِنْرَهِيَ) التي أنا عليها ( حَيْبَاه فُلْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ في هذا كجميع ما أخبر به (قَاتَّبِعُواْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَهِيمَ التي أنا عليها حَنِيماكِ مائلا عن كل دين إلى الإسلام (وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ألْمُشْرِ كِينَ) أخبر الله تبارك وتعالى أن هذا التحريم من قبل يعقوب عليه الصلاة والسلام وهذه عبادة الإنسان يمنع نفسه من شهو الحلال تقربا إلى اللّه تبارك وتعالى كما فعل إسرائيل، فكذلك كل الطعام كان حلا لعبد اللّه إذا سلك إلى حضرة اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى إلا ما حرم السالك على نفسه مجاهدة لنفسه من قبل أن تنزل التوراة قبل أن يأتي الفتح الأكبر …

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.
