Q 66:11 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

لِّلذِينَ فِرْعَوْنَ إِذْ لِے فِے مِن فِرْعَوْنَ مِنَ

And Allah citeth an example for those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh when she said: My Lord! Build for me a home with thee in the Garden, and deliver me from Pharaoh and his work, and deliver me from evil-doing 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-Taḥrīm begins at vol. 10, p. 36 (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.

والزوجتان قيل لهما «أدْخُلا ألنَّارَ مَعَ ألدَّ خِلِينٌ» أي كفار قوم نوح وكفار قوم لوط. (وَضَرَبَ اَ۬للَّهُ مَثَلاࣰ لِّلذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ اُ۪مْرَأَتَ فِرْعَوْنَ) كذلك العكس المرأة الصالحة إذا كان زوجها كافرا لا يضر ذلك مقامها. امرأة فرعون آمنت بموسى واسمها آسية فعذبها فرعون بأن أوتد يديها ورجليها وألقى على صدرها رحى عظيمة واستقبل بها الشمس حتى ماتت فكانت تظللها الملائكة في أثناء عذابها 1، هذه لم يضرها فرعون مع سوء حاله (إِذْ قَالَتْ ، حال التعذيب ( رَبِّ إبْرِ لِي عِندَكَ بَيْتَاَمِى الْجَنَّةِ فكشف لها فرأته وهي حية فسهل عليها التعذيب ما أحست بالألم (وَنَجِّنِے مِن فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِهِۦ) وتعذيبه ( وَنَجِّنِ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّلِمِينَ) آسية آمنت بموسى وأحبته وتعلقت به وتمسكت بدينه فعذبها فرعون أشد العذاب، فطلبت من اللّه تبارك وتعالى أن يبني لها بيتا عنده في الجنة فصاح الملائكة: يا رب أمتك تعذب فيك ولم تطلب منك إلا بيتا. فقال الله: تأملوا كلامها، هي ما طلبت بيتا في الجنة فقط بل بيتا

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.
