O ye who believe! Whoso of you becometh a renegade from his religion, (know that in his stead) Allah will bring a people whom He loveth and who love Him, humble toward believers, stern toward disbelievers, striving in the way of Allah, and fearing not the blame of any blamer. Such is the grace of Allah which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing — 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.

2 (أَذِلَّةِ عَلَى الْمَومِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ) أشداء (عَلَى الْكَمِرِينَ) قد ارتد في الصدر الأول إحدى عشرة فرقة: ثلاث فرق ارتدوا في زمن النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم منهم الأسود العنسي ارتد باليمن وتغلب على اليمن حتى أخرج معاذ بن جبل أمير رسول اللّٰه صلى له عليه وسلم، فأرسل الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم إلى معاذ أنهم يقاومونه ويحمل الناس على البقاء على الإسلام، فقتله رجل يقال له فيروز، أخبر النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم أنه قُل الأسود العنسي قتله رجل مبارك وهو في مرض موته قيل له من هو رجل مبارك؟ قال فيروز.
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.
