Sūrat Al-Kahf · 18 : 16

وَإِذِ وَمَا إِلَّا إِلَي لَكُمْ مِّن لَكُم مِّنَ

And when ye withdraw from them and that which they worship except Allah, then seek refuge in the Cave; your Lord will spread for you of His mercy and will prepare for you a pillow in your plight — Pickthall

In the printed edition: Sūrat Al-Kahf begins at vol. 6, p. 3 (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.

إما أن يموت أو يسلم، أما من وقف بين يدي ملك جائر لا يقبل الحق وهو واجهه بالحق هذا من غير شك يموت فهذا أشد من الجهاد لأن خوفه أشد من الخوف في الجهاد {هؤلاء قوْمُنَا اتّخذُواْ مِن دُونِهِ ءالهَةً لَّوْلا يَاثُونَ) هلا يأتون (عَلَيْهِم)) على عبادتهم {بسْلْطَنٍ بَيِّن} بحجة ظاهرة (فَمَن أظْلَمُ) لا أحد أظلم (مِمَّن افْتَرِى عَلَى الَّلهِ كَذِباً) بنسبةُ الشريك إليه تعالى. قال بعض الفتية لبعض (وَإِذِ إعْتَرْ لْتَمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلاَ اللَّهَ فأْوُْ إِلَى الْكَهْفِ) هذه بداية هجرتهم (يَنشَرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِن رَّحْمَتِهِ، وَيْهَيِّئْ لَكْم مِنَ آمْرِكُم مَرْفِقاً} أي ما ترتفقون به من غداء وعشاء (وَتَرَى ألشَمْسَ إِذَّا طَلَعَت تَزَّوَرُ) تميل ( عَى كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِيِنِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَت تَقْرِضُهُمْ) تتركهم (ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ) من كراماتهم أن الشمس ما طلعت فوق الغار مدة إقامتهم بل تميل يمينا وشمالا لئلا يصيبهم حر الشمس كرامة من الله تبارك وتعالى لهم (وَهُمْ فِى فَجْوَةٍ …
