Sūrat Al-Mulk · 67 : 3

Q 67:3 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

اُ۬لذِے مَّا فِے مِن هَلْ مِن

Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts 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-Mulk begins at vol. 10, p. 52 (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.

عملا؟ فقال أورع عن محارم اللّٰه وأسرع في طاعة الله!. أعقل الناس أحسنهم عملا، والناس على أربعة أقسام: من مقصوده في عمله قولا ونية: الدنيا، هذا سيئ العمل؛ ومن مقصده في عمله قولا وفعلا الآخرة هذا حسن العمل؛ ومن مقصده قولا الآخرة ونية: الدنيا هذا أسوأ عملا؛ من يقول خلاف ما في قلبه المنافقون. ومن مقصده في عمله وجه اللّٰه قولا ونية فهذا أحسنهم عملا (وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ) في انتقامه ممن عصاه (الْغَمُورُ) لمن تاب إليه (اُ۬لذِے خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتࣲ طِبَاقاࣰۖ) دل على قدرة اللّه تبارك وتعالى تصرفه في الملك والملكوت وخلقه الموت والحياة للاختبار وأيضا خلق سبع سماوات طباقا بعضها فوق بعض غير مماسة، وترون السماء هاهي بلا عماد ومَا تَرِىٰ فِي خَلْوِ الرَّحْمَنِ) لهن أو لغيرهن (ومس تَقَوُتٌ تباين وعدم تناسب، السماء والأرض وكل ما خلق اللّٰه تجده في غاية الحكمة، لا تفاوت ولا عدم تناسب فيما خلق اللّٰه (جَارْجع) أعد الْبَصَرَ) إلى السماء (هَلْ تَرِى) فيها (م فُطْورٍ) صدوع وشقوق. هذه السماء التي بقيت هذه

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.
