Q 6:144 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَمِنَ وَمِنَ أَمِ أَمَّا عَلَيْهِ أَمْ ا۪ذْ بِهَٰذَاۖ فَمَنَ مِمَّنِ عَلَي اِنَّ لَا

And of the camels twain and of the oxen twain. Say: Hath He forbidden the two males or the two females, or that which the wombs of the two females contain; or were ye by to witness when Allah commanded you (all) this? Then who doth greater wrong than he who deviseth a lie concerning Allah, that he may lead mankind astray without knowledge. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk — 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.

قلت : "ناقة اللّٰه وسقياها" هذه الناقة لمن؟ هذا بيت اللّٰه إن دخلنا فيه نجده فيه أم لا؟ قال: لا نجده فيه، قلت: إن كنا إذا دخلنا بيته لا نجده والعادة أن الإنسان يوجد في بيته يمكن أن عرشه أيضا إذا أتيناه لا نجده فوقه. قال: ما نفعل بهذا الحديث: (ينزل ربنا كل ليلة إذا مضى ثلث الليل الأول ويقول هل من سائل فأعطيه؟، هل من داع فأستجيب له؟ هل من مستغفر فأغفر له؟)[53] هذا النزول دليل على أنه فوق. قلت له: نعم ينزل كل ليلة، آمنّا بذلك، ولكن هذا القرآن يقول إن اللّٰه أنزل علينا ثمانية أنواع من النعم: من الإبل اثنين ومن البقر اثنين ومن الضأن اثنين ومن المعز اثنين، هذه ثمانية أخبر اللّٰه أنه أنزلها من السماء إلينا، نحن كل يوم نرى ناقة تلد بعيرا ونرى بقرة تلد بقرة ونرى شاة تلد شاة ومعزى تلد معزى، كيف نزلت هذه من السماء ونحن نشاهد أمهاتها تلدها؟ قال: لا نعرف حقيقة

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.
