Sūrat Fāṭir · 35 : 37

Q 35:37 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَهُمْ فِيهَا اَ۬لذِے أَوَلَمْ مَّا فِيهِ مَن فَمَا مِن

And they cry for help there, (saying): Our Lord! Release us; we will do right, not (the wrong) that we used to do. Did not We grant you a life long enough for him who reflected to reflect therein? And the warner came unto you. Now taste (the flavour of your deeds), for evil-doers have no helper — 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 Fāṭir begins at vol. 8, p. 52 (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.

(كَذَّلِكَ) كما جزيناهم * نَجْزِ كُلَّ كَبُورِ كافر (وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِحُونَ مِيهَا) يستغيثون بشدة وعويل يقولون ( رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا) منها (تَعْمَلْ صَلِحاً غَيْرَ ألذِ كُنَّا نَعْمَل فيقال لم بعد عمر الدنيا مرتين كما تقدم [2] (أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُم مَا يَتَذَّكَّرُ فِيهِ مَن تَذَّكَّرَ وَجَآءَكُمُ النَّذِير) يقول اللّٰه لعبده الشقي أولم نعمرك في الدنيا مدة يتذكر فيها من أراد أن يتذكر وجاءكم النذير، والإنسان يولد صغيرا غير مكلف فإذا بلغ سبع سنوات يؤمر بالصلاة، أمر النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم أن يؤمر الأولاد بالصلاة إذا بلغوا سبعا ويضربوا عليها إذا بلغوا عشر سنوات وهذا لكي يتمرنوا عليها قبل الوجوب. وعند سبع أخرى صار عمر الصبي أربع عشرة إلى خمس عشرة يكون بالغا في الغالب فيكلف تجب عليه إقامة الصلاة، وبعد سبع أخرى إحدى وعشرين، وسبع أخرى ثمان وعشرين، وسبع أخرى خمس وثلاثين وسبع

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.
