Q 6:136 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

مِمَّا مِنَ هَٰذَا وَهَٰذَا فَمَا فَلَا إِلَي وَمَا فَهُوَ إِلَيٰ مَا

They assign unto Allah, of the crops and cattle which He created, a portion, and they say: "This is Allah's" - in their make-believe - "and this is for (His) partners in regard to us." Thus that which (they assign) unto His partners in them reacheth not Allah and that which (they assign) unto Allah goeth to their (so-called) partners. Evil is their ordinance 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-Anʿām begins at vol. 3, p. 112 (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.

" كَتَبَ عَلَىٰ تَجْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةُ (إِنْ يَشَأْ يَدْهِبْكُمْ) يا أهل مكة بالإهلاك (وَيَسْتَخْلِف مِن بَعْدِكُم مَا يَشَآءٍ) من الخلق (كَمَآ أَنشَأَكُم مِّن ذُرِّيَّةِ قَوْمٍ اٰخَرِينَۖ) أذهبها ولكنه أبقلكه رحمة لكم. لو شاء اللّٰه لأهلك الناس كلا وأتى بآخرين وهذا دأبه دائما هذا لاشك فيه لأننا نشاهده دائما، إذا تفكرنا الآن قبل خمسين سنة نجد آباءنا قياما يدبرون هذا العالم وها نحن الآن ولم يبق شيء من آبائنا، ومن هنا إلى خمسين عاما لا ترى أحدا منا يبقى أولادنا، هكذا دائما «كَمَآ أَنشَأَكُم مِّن ذُرِّيَّةِ قَوْمٍ اٰخَرِينَۖ» (إِلَّ مَا تُوعَدُونَ لاتْ) هذا دليل على أن الساعة آتية لا ريب فيها (وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ) فائتين عذابنا ( فَلْ يَقَوْمِ إعْمَلُوا عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمُ ) حالتكم {إِنِّى عَامِلٌ على حالتي ((قَسَوْقَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَى تَكُونُ لَو عَقِبَةُ ألدَارِ العاقبة المحمودة في الدار الآخرة هل نحن أم أنتم إنَّهُ الشأن ( لا يُفْلِحُ) يسعد ( الظِّلِمُونُ)) الكافرون (

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.
