بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

In the printed edition: Sūrat Al-Fātiḥa begins at vol. 1, p. 46 (Tūnis 2022, 10 vols.)

The site’s Arabic edition follows Warsh ʿan Nāfiʿ; the reference text quoted here and the matcher behind the Fī Riyāḍ loci are Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim. Content is nearly identical, but verse-boundary numbering diverges in a handful of places. Each locus carries its own witness’s numbering. Page references 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.

1950-1960 · Wolof · cassette not identified · audio · compiled by Introduction by Ibrāhīm M. Diop, Niasse's personal secretary · the annual Ramaḍān cycle

Not located. Sixty-two cassettes of Wolof exegesis covering the whole Qurʾān, recorded 1950–1960 (ALA IV #72). The boxed set has never been located. This locus is listed because the cycle is complete, not because the passage has been found — and because Wolof, not Arabic, was Shaykh Ibrāhīm's normal language of delivery.

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.
