Q 9:110 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

لَا اُ۬لذِے فِے إِلَّآ أَن

The building which they built will never cease to be a misgiving in their hearts unless their hearts be torn to pieces. Allah is Knower, Wise — 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.

منه (خَيْرٌ آم مَلْ ايّسَ بُنْيَنُهُو عَلَى شَعَاه طرف جُرب) جانب هارِ) مشرف على السقوط (بَانْهَارَبِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ) خير تمثيل للبناء على ضد التقوى بما يؤول إليه. وصف بنيانهم بأربعة أوصاف: أسس على شفا جرف هار فانهار به في نار جهنم (وَاللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظِّلِمِينَ) ووصفهم بأنهم ظالمون (لاَ يَزَالُ بَنْيَٰنُهُمْ أَلذِى بَنَوْ رِيبَةٌ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ إِلَّ أَن تُقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ) وصفه أيضا بأن ذلك لا يزال شكا في قلوبهم حتى يموتوا (وَاللَهُ عَلِيمُ حَكِيمٌ) عليم بخلقه حكيم في صنعه بهم (اِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ اَ۪شْتَر۪يٰ مِنَ اَ۬لْمُومِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَٰلَهُم) بأن يبذلوها في طاعته كالجهاد ( بِأَلَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ هذه الآية نزلت في بيعة العقبة. الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم لما دعا قريشا إلى عبادة اللّٰه فروا منه، وكان أبو طالب حيا وخديجة بنت خويلد فاستعصم بهما رسول اللّٰه صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم فما قدر له الكفار على شيء فلما توفي أبو طالب وخديجة أيضا طمع الكفار 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. Passages 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.
