Q 89:23 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

بِجَهَنَّمَ وَأَنّ۪يٰ لَهُ

And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him) — 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-Fajr begins at vol. 10, p. 177 (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.

رفعة القدر عند اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى، والله لا ينظر إليهما، إنما المعتبر عند اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى هو الإيمان والطاعة، فمن رزقه اللّٰه الإيمان به وطاعته فقد أكرمه، ومن لا فقد أهانه ولو كثر عنده المال بَل لاَّ تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ) لا تحسنون إليه مع غناكم ولا تعطونه حقه من الميراث (وَلَا تَحْضُّونَ) أنفسكم ولا غيركم (عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ) إطعام المسكين (وَتَاكُلُونَ التُّراث الميراث أَكْلًا لَمّا شديدا للَمِّهم نصيب النساء والصبيان من الميراث مع نصيبهم (وَتُحِبُّونَ اَ۬لْمَالَ حُبّاࣰ جَمّاࣰ) كثيرا فلا تنفقونه ( كَلّاَّ)) لا تفعلوا هذا (إِذَا دُكَّتِ الأَرْضُ دَكّاً دَكّا زلزلت حتى ينهدم كل بناء عليها وينعدم وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ) أمره ( وَالْمَلَكُ هو مجيئ الملائكة (صَبّاً صَبّا) مصطفين أو ذوي صفوف كثيرة (وَجِيِءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ) أوتي بجهنم تقاد بسبعين ألف زمام كل زمام بأيدي سبعين ألف ملك [1] لها زفير وتغيظ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَرُ) إن اللّه تبارك وتعالى يحشر هذا الخلق في …

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.
