Sūrat Al-Naḥl · 16 : 74

فَلَا إِنَّ وَأَنتُمْ لَا

So coin not similitudes for Allah. Lo! Allah knoweth; ye know not — Pickthall

In the printed edition: Sūrat Al-Naḥl begins at vol. 5, p. 124 (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.
