Q 47:2 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَالذِينَ بِمَا عَلَيٰ وَهُوَ مِن عَنْهُمْ

And those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state — 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 Muḥammad begins at vol. 9, p. 42 (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.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ) آخر السورة وأول هذه السورة واحد (وألذِيرَ كَبَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ) "جَهَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّ ألْقَوْمُ الْعَسِفُونَ الذِيسَ كَجَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَى سَبِيلِ إِللَّهِ" ( أَصَل أَعْمَلَهُمْ أحبط اللّه أعمالهم ما لهم من الأعمال كإطعام الطعام وصلة الأرحام فلا يرون لها ثوابا في الآخرة لأن شرطها مفقود هو الإيمان (وَالذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَءَامَنُواْ بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيٰ مُحَمَّدࣲ وَهُوَ اَ۬لْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْۖ) إن اللّه تبارك وتعالى أخبر أن الكفار أضل أعمالهم لأنهم لم يؤمنوا والذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وآمنوا بما نزل على محمد «كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْۖ» ( ذَلِكَ) الإضلال (بِأَنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ كَفَرُواْ اُ۪تَّبَعُواْ اُ۬لْبَٰطِلَ وَأَنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ اُ۪تَّبَعُواْ اُ۬لْحَقَّ) اتبعوا الحق فكفر اللّٰه عنهم سيئاتهم غفر لهم …

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.
