But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust — 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-Nāziʿāt begins at vol. 10, p. 135(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.

يحدوا الإذاية ممن عرفوا وممن لم يعرفوا، لأن ذلك هو الذي يصفيهم، الإنسان بطبعه يحب حنسه وقرابته فإذاً إن لم يجد ما يزعجه عن هؤلاء بقي يحبهم أو بقي يقسم لهم قسما وافرا من قلبه، والله يحب أن ينفرد بقلب العبد، فإذاً يصدر له الإذاية من كل جانب، من كل قريب من زوجة، من ولد، من أخ، من كل من يظن ومن كل من لا يظن فيرتحل قلبه ويعلم أن العبد ليس له إلا اللّٰه فيفر إلى اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى برفض كل ما سواه، وإذا استكمله حتى استخلصه رجعه إليهم لينفعهم ولا يتأذى بإذايتهم لا يحس بها. من أحب الجنة فعليه بخمسة أشياء: لا بد أن يترك هوى النفس "وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَي النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْوي فَإِنَّ الجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوي"، إذاً من خالف هوى نفسه فهو من أهل الجنة؛ وأن يترك الدنيا ويشتغل بطاعة اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى، ورد في الحديث (ثمن الجنة ترك الدنيا) هما ضرتان من مال إلى واحدة منهما غضبت الأخرى، إذاً من أحب الآخرة ترك الدنيا، والنفس تدعي أنّها تقدر أن تباشر الدنيا وتتناول شهواتها ولا يمنعها …
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.
