Sūrat Al-Kahf · 18 : 39

وَلَوْلَآ إِذْ مَا لَا إِلَّا إِن أَنَآ مِنكَ

If only, when thou enteredst thy garden, thou hadst said: That which Allah willeth (will come to pass)! There is no strength save in Allah! Though thou seest me as less than thee in wealth and children — 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.

بِرَبِّىَ أَحَداً وَلَوْلَا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَآءَ اللَّهُ لا قُوَةَ إِلَّ بِاللَّهِ، أرشده أخوه المؤمن إلى أنه بدلا من الكفر لو كان إذا دخل بيته جنته قال ما شاء اللّٰه لم ير فيه مكروها. قال الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم (من أعطي خيرا من أهل أو مال فقال عند ذلك ما شاء اللّٰه لا قوة إلا بالله لم ير فيه مكروها) [3] (إِن تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالا ) إذا رأيتني أقل منك مالا
