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.

علامة على إهلاكهم لِذِيرَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الآَلِيمَ) آثار هلاكهم موجودة إلى يومنا هذا. وأهل مكة يسافرون إلى الشام ويمرون بتلك الآثار فكيف لا يخافون؟ حتى لا يفعلوا مثل ما فعل أولئك فيهلكوا كما هلكوا. ( وَفِي مُوسِىّ) وفي قصة موسى آية (إِذَ آرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَرِ مَبِيٍ) ملتبسا بحجة واضحة وقوة (قَتَوَلَبى) أعرض فرعون عن الإيمان ( بِرُكْنِهِ) مع جنوده لأنهم كانوا له كالركن (وَفَالَ) لموسى ( سَحِرٌ آَوْ مَجْنُون) كفروا بموسى واتهموه بالسحر أو الجنون على عادة الكفار مع الأنبياء («فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُو مَنَبَذْنَهُمْ بِي الْيَمِّ، طرحناهم في بحر القلزم فغرقوا كلا وَهُوَ) فرعون ( مُلِيمٌ) آت بما يلام عليه من تكذيب الرسل ودعوى الربوبية، قالوا إن موسى مجنون، وقالوا إن نوحا مجنون، وحتى محمد قالوا إنه مجنون، كل الكفار يتهمون أهل اللّٰه بالجنون لأنهم يخالفون عوائدهم. ما تدركه عقولهم من الأشياء يتوجه الأنبياء إلى غيرها. والجنون والجذب متشابهان، خطف نوراني وخطف ظلماني، …
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.
