Q 30:4 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

فِے مِن وَمِنۢ

Within ten years - Allah's is the command in the former case and in the latter - and in that day believers will rejoice — 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-Rūm begins at vol. 7, p. 178 (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.

وقعت الوقعة بين فارس والروم فغلبت الروم فارس في السنة السابعة \! لِلهِ إلامْرُ مِن قَبْلَ وَمِنْ بَعْذُ من قبل غلب الروم ومن بعده، المعنى أن غلبة فارس أولا وغلبة الروم ثانيا بأمر اللّٰه وإرادته (وَيَوْمَئِذࣲ يَفْرَحُ اُ۬لْمُومِنُونَ بِنَصْرِ اِ۬للَّهِۖ) وذلك اليوم الذي تغلب فيه الروم فارس سيوافق فرحا للمسلمين، المفسر يقول: وافق يوم بدر 2 وذلك غلط إنما وافق فتح خيبر، فلهذا يوم فتح خيبر غلبت الروم فارس هذا فرح للمسلمين، ووجدوا غنائم خيبر، هذا فرح لهم أيضا، ووصل سبعون راكبا من النجاشي يخبرون النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم بإسلام النجاشي ملك الحبشة، هذا فرح آخر وحملوا معهم أم حبيبة بنت أبي سفيان التي تزوجها النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم إلى النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم عروسا، ورجع جعفر من الحبشة، في هذا يقول المصطفى صلى اللّه عليه وسلم: (لم أدر بأيها أفرح أبإسلام النجاشي أم بغنائم خيبر أم بغلبة الروم أم بعودة جعفر أم بوصول أم حبيبة عرسي) (يَنصُرُ مَنْ يَشَآءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ)) وغلبت …

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.
