Q 9:102 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

أَنْ عَلَيْهِمُۥٓۖ إِنَّ

And (there are) others who have acknowledged their faults. They mixed a righteous action with another that was bad. It may be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful — 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-Tawba begins at vol. 4, p. 74 (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.

العراق. قال له مالك: أهل النفاق؟ فجلس ثم قال: أيأذن لي الإمام أن أتلو آية بحضرته؟ قال: نعم، قال: ومن أهل العراق مردوا على النفاق، تأدبَ مع مالك حتى أفسد الآية، قال مالك: لا، «وَمِنَ آهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ» قال في بلدك لا في بلدي «وَمِرَ آَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مَرَدْواْ عَلَى أْلتِّمَاقِ لا تَعْلَمْهُمْ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمْهُمْ سَنْعَذِّبُهُم مَرَّتَيْ» (ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ في الآخرة (إِلَى عَذَابٍ عَظِيمٌ) هو النار (وَءَاخَرُونَ) قوم آخرون وإَعْتَرَجُواْ بِذُّنّوبِهِمْ من التخلف (خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صَلِحا) وهو جهادهم قبل ذلك واعترافهم بذنوبهم أو غير ذلك (وَءَاخَرَ سَيِّئًا) وهو تخلفهم (عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ) الذين تخلفوا عن غزوة تبوك ثلاثة أصناف: قسم نافقوا، هم الذين فضحتهم الآية المتقدمة، وصنف ربطوا أنفسهم بسواري المسجد وأقسموا ألا يحلهم إلا الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم فلما رآهم الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم - منهم أبو لبابة - قال من هؤلاء؟ قالوا: قوم تخلفوا …

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.
