Q 59:9 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَالذِينَ مِن مَنْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا فِے مِّمَّآ عَلَيٰٓ وَلَوْ بِهِمْ وَمَنْ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ

Those who entered the city and the faith before them love those who flee unto them for refuge, and find in their breasts no need for that which hath been given them, but prefer (the fugitives) above themselves though poverty become their lot. And whoso is saved from his own avarice - such are they who are successful 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-Ḥashr begins at vol. 9, p. 204 (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.

النضير (وَيُوثِرُونَ عَلَىْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ ) ويوثرون غيرهم على أنفسهم ولو كانوا محتاجين أولئك وقاهم اللّٰه شح أنفسهم (وَمَنْ يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ ) حرصها (بَأوْلَيِكَ هُمْ الْمُفْلِحُونُ) إن اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى مدح المهاجرين والأنصار؛ والرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم لما أخذ أموال بني النضير أخذ بساتينهم، حازها صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم لنفسه وكان يخرج منها نفقة عياله سنة، كل زوجة من زوجاته يعطيها نفقة سنة كاملة[1] ، إلا عائشة لقوة توكلها ما كان الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم يقسم لها لأنها تعلم أنه صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم يعلم أنها واثقة بالله. فلما توفي رسول اللّه صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم أخذ أبو بكر أموال بني النضير وصار يتصرف فيها كما كان يتصرف فيها النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم. فلما توفي أبو بكر أخذها عمر فأتى العباس وعلي إلى عمر ووجدا ستة من المهاجرين منهم عثمان بن عفان، طلحة بن عبيد الله، الزبير بن العوام، دخل غلام عمر وقال: يستأذن ستة من المهاجرين: عثمان وعدّ القومَ، فأذن

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.
