Q 9:61 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

۞وَمِنْهُمُ اُ۬لذِينَ هُوَ لَّكُمْ لِّلذِينَ مِنكُمْۖ وَالذِينَ لَهُمْ

And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom — 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.

( وَمِنْهُمْ) المنافقين الذِيسَ يُوذُونَ التَّيِةَ هذه نزلت في منافق تكلم في الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم قال إن الرسول أذن واحد، من أتاه وأخبره خبرا وأقسم له يصدقه فقط، فعلى هذا يقولون ما شاءوا إذا أتوا إلى النبي ينكرون ويحلفون «وَمِنْهُمُ» من المنافقين «ألذِيَ يُوذُورَ النَّيِت» يعيبه وينقل حديثه (وَيَقُولُونَ) إذا نهوا عن ذلك (هُوَ أذْلّ) يسمع كل قيل ويقبله فإذا حلفنا له أنا لم نقل صدقنا فُلُ اذْلُ خَيْرِ) أذن مستمع خير (لَكُمْ) لا مستمع شر (يُومِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَيُومِنْ) يصدق {(لِلْمُومِنِينَ) يؤمن بالله ويصدق للمؤمنين فيما أخبروه به لا لغيرهم (وَرَحْمَةٌ) رحمة من اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى (لِّلذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمْۖ وَالذِينَ يُوذُونَ رَسُولَ اَ۬للَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيمࣱۖ يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُمْ) أيها المؤمنون فيما بلغكم عنهم من أذى الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم أنهم ما أتوه (لِيَرْضُوكُمْ وَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُرْضُوهُ )، أن يرضوا الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم إن …

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.
