Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son — 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.

(قَالَ) إبراهيم (فَمَا خَطْبُكُمُوَ) شأنكم (أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونُ قَالَواْ إِنَّا أرْسِلْنَ إِلَى قَوْمِ مُجْرِمِينَ)، كافرين قوم لوط. سأل إبراهيم عن شأن المرسلين بعدما أخبروه خبرهم "لاَ تَخَفٌ وَبَشَرُوهْ بِغُلَمِ عَلِيمٌ" تقدم أنهم أخبروه أنهم رسل إلى قوم لوط، وهذا السؤال الثاني ما خطبكم؟ أي ما يحملكم على التعجل عادة الكرام إذا كان عندهم ضيف وأرادوا أن ينصرفوا سريعا يقولون لهم ما هذه العجلة ما خطبكم؟ لم تتعجلون؟ «قَالُوَاْ إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُجْرِمِس» (لِنَرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةَ مِ طِيرٍ) مطبوخ بالنار ( مُسَوَّمَةً) معلمة اسم من يرمى بها وعِندَ رَبِّكَ وهذا كله وقع عند اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى (لِلْمُسْرِحِينَ)) أخبر الملائكة أنهم سيرسلون مطرا من حجارة من طين ليس حجارة من برد كما يقع "مِن جِبَالٍ فِيهَا مِنْ بَرَدِ " تقدم
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.
