Q 19:90 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

مِنْهُ

Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins — 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 Maryam begins at vol. 6, p. 40 (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.

قط، اخرج إلى النار اخرج إلى سجين إلى الحميم إلى الغساق، فيقبض روحه فيجد شخصا منكرا قبيح الرائحة مخوفا جدا يقول له: لا أحب أن أراك انصرف عني، فيقول له سوف أكون عليك أنا عملك الذي كنت تباشر فيأتي يكون حملا ثقيلا على عنقه "أَلا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرّونٌ". هؤلاء يأتون راكبين كما تمنوا، وهؤلاء يأتون وهم عطاش مشاة، على رؤوسهم الأحمال الثقيلة التي هم اكتسبوها في أعمارهم (لاَّ يَمْلِكُونَ الشَعَعَةَ إِلاَّ مَنِ إتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَحْمَنِ عَهْداه ولا يملكون الشفاعة إلا إذا كانوا قالوا هذه الكلمة أشهد أن لا إله إلا اللّه أو لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله (وَقَالُوا) اليهود والنصارى ومن زعم أن الملائكة بنات اللّٰه (إتَّحَذَ أْلرّحْمَنُ وَلَدأ قال تعالى لهم (لَفَدْ جِيْتُمْ شَيْئاً إِدَّا) منكرا عظيما (يَكَادَ ألسَّمَوَاتُ يَتَمَطَّرْتَ) بالانشقاق (مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدّاً)) تنطبق عليهم من أجل ( آن دَعَوْاْ لِلرَّحْمَنِ وَلَداً وَمَا يَنْبَغِ لِلرَّحْمَنِ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدام ما …

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.
