Q 5:88 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

مِمَّا اَ۬لذِےٓ أَنتُم بِهِۦ

Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed on you as food lawful and good, and keep your duty to Allah in Whom ye are believers 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-Māʾida begins at vol. 3, p. 33 (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.

الطيبات، فنزلت هذه الآية، يبين لهم أنهم ولو وصف أولئك الرهبان بصفة محموة فالمسلمون خير منهم فإن الآية تمنع المسلمين من تحريم الحلال كما منعتهم في أول السوة من تحليل الحرام "أزمَاً بالْعَفُوةِ أجِلَّثْ لَكْم بَهِيمَةَ لاَنْمِ" محلل الحرام كمحرم الحلال ك تَحَرِّمُواْ طَيّبَٰتِ مَا أَحَلَّ أللَّهُ لَكُمْ" المستلذات من الطعام إذا كانت حلالا فلا تحرموها هولا تَعْتَدوا لا تتجاوزوا أمر الله، المدار مع أمر اللّٰه فقط إذا حرم الله شيئا فاتركوه وإذا أحل شيئا فتناولوه (إِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ اُ۬لْمُعْتَدِينَۖ وَكُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اُ۬للَّهُ حَلَٰلاࣰ طَيِّباࣰۖ) هو الحاي (وَاتَّقُواْ أَلَّهَ ألذِي أَنتُم بِهِ مُومِنُون) قال الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم (إن اللّه تعالى فرض فرائض فلا تضيعوها وحد حدودا فلا تعتدوها وحرم أشياء فلا تنتهكوها، وسكت عن أشياء رحمة بكم غير نسيان فلا تبحثوا عنها)[1]، وأشد المسلمين جريمة من سأل عن شيء كان حلالا حتى حرم. «وَاتَّقُواْ أللَّهَ أْلذّة أَنتُم بِهِ

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.
