Q 64:12 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

فَإِن فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيٰ

Obey Allah and obey His messenger; but if ye turn away, then the duty of Our messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly — 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-Taghābun begins at vol. 10, p. 25 (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.

سألت فاسأل اللّٰه وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله واعلم أن الأمة لو اجتمعوا كلهم على أن ضروك ما ضروك إلا بشيء قد قدره الله، وإن اجتمعوا على أن ينفعوك ما نفعوك إلا بشيء قد قدره الله، رفعت الأقلام وجفت الصحف)1 المؤمن في راحة يعلم أنه لا يكون إلا ما أراد اللّٰه وَمَنْ يُومِنْ بِاللهِ) في قوله إن المصيبة بقضائه (ويَهْدِ قَلْبَةٌ وه من علم أن كل ما وقع بحكم اللّٰه وقضائه ذلك قلبه قد اهتدى للصبر عليها (وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَےْءٍ عَلِيمࣱۖ وَأَطِيعُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ اُ۬لرَّسُولَۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيٰ رَسُولِنَا اَ۬لْبَلَٰغُ اُ۬لْمُبِينُۖ اُ۬للَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَعَلَي اَ۬للَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ اِ۬لْمُومِنُونَۖ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ) سبب نزول هذه الآية أن بعض المسلمين أرادوا الهجرة فحبستهم زوجاتهم عن الهجرة بعدما آمنوا فبقوا إلى فتح مكة فأتوا ووجدوا الصحابة الذين أسلموا معهم كلهم صاروا فقهاء علماء يعلمون ويهدون الناس وهم ما زالوا في البداية …

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. Passages 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.
