Q 57:12 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

مِن فِيهَاۖ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ

On the day when thou (Muhammad) wilt see the believers, men and women, their light shining forth before them and on their right hands, (and wilt hear it said unto them): Glad news for you this day: Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein ye are immortal. That is the supreme triumph — 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-Ḥadīd begins at vol. 9, p. 174 (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.

عيدي فلان ولو أطعمته لوجدت ذلك عندي 1. نزّل المسكين منزلته تبارك وتعالى فكل ما عملت للمسكين فقد عملته له جل وعلا . الملك متصل بالملكوت من لم يعامل الحق في لكه فلم يعامله أبدا. إذا أخذ الانسان الصدقة ووضعها في يد الفقير فقد وضعها في يد ش تبارك وتعالى. حتى المسكين يقول أعطاني اللّٰه وهو يعلم أن المعطي فلان، هذا شيء رقيق، لهذا أخرجت عائشة يوما صدقة ورجعت أخذت طيبا فضمخت الصدقة بالطيب قبل أن تدفعها للمسكين، قال الرسول صلى اللّه عليه وسلم: ولم هذا؟ قالت لأن الصدقة تسبق في يد الله قبل أن تصل إلى يد المسكين فطيبتها ليد الجليل التي ستمر بها، قال: الآن فقهت يا عائشة. الفقه عند رسول اللّٰه صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم هكذا ( قَيْضَعِفْهُ و لَهُو) من عشر إلى سبعمائة كما ذكر في البقرة وَلَه مع المضاعفة (أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ) مقترن به رضى وإقبال. اذكر (يَوْمَ تَرَي اَ۬لْمُومِنِينَ وَالْمُومِنَٰتِ يَسْع۪يٰ نُورُهُم بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ) أمامهم (وَبِأَيْمَنِهِمْ يكون بأيمانهم ويقال لهم شْرِيكم ألْيَوْمَ جَنّت دخولها …

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.
