Sūrat Al-Baqara · 2 : 177

۞لَّيْسَ اَ۬لْبِرُّ أَن تُوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ اَ۬لْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِۖ وَلَٰكِنِ اِ۬لْبِرُّ مَنَ اٰمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ اِ۬لَاخِرِ وَالْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ وَالْكِتَٰبِ وَالنَّبِيٓـِٕۧنَ وَءَاتَي اَ۬لْمَالَ عَلَيٰ حُبِّهِۦ ذَوِے اِ۬لْقُرْب۪يٰ وَالْيَتَٰم۪يٰ وَالْمَسَٰكِينَ وَابْنَ اَ۬لسَّبِيلِ وَالسَّآئِلِينَ وَفِے اِ۬لرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ اَ۬لصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَي اَ۬لزَّكَوٰةَۖ وَالْمُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِهِمُۥٓ إِذَا عَٰهَدُواْۖ وَالصَّٰبِرِينَ فِے اِ۬لْبَأْسَآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ وَحِينَ اَ۬لْبَأْسِۖ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ اَ۬لذِينَ صَدَقُواْۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ اُ۬لْمُتَّقُونَۖ

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.
