Remember Allah through the appointed days. Then whoso hasteneth (his departure) by two days, it is no sin for him, and whoso delayeth, it is no sin for him; that is for him who wardeth off (evil). Be careful of your duty to Allah, and know that unto Him ye will be gathered — 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 →

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.

إِقِس تَعَجَّلَ) استعجل بالنفر من منى (فِي يَوْمَيْنِ) في ثاني أيام التشريق بعد رمي جماره {لاَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ بالتعجيل (وَمَن تَأَخَّرَ) بِها حتى بات ليلة الثالث ورمى جماره جَلّاَّ إِلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ) بذلك أي هم مخيرون في ذلك، ونفي الإثم (لِمَنِ إتَّقِىّ) اتقى اللّٰه في حجه لأنه الحاج في الحقيقة (وَاتَّقُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمُۥٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَۖ) في الآخرة فيجازيكم
Here the verse warrants a claim argued from other authorities. It is not the object of commentary.

» من أيام التشريق «فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَن تَأَخَّرَ فَلَاَ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ» فصلت الآية الأيام المعدودات من أيام الرمي وهي أيام التشريق، فاليوم الأول يوم النحر معدود، وقال اللّه في آية الحج «وَاذْكُرُواْ اللَّهَ فِيّ أَيَّامِ مَعْدُودَاتٌ» والأيام المعلومات عند مالك ثلاثة أيام بعد يوم النحر فاليوم الأول معدود عنده غير معلوم، واليومان معدودان معلومان واليوم الرابع معلوم غير معدود، هذا مذهب مالك. انتهى. وقال ابن عباس الأيام المعدودات أيام التشريق والأيام المعلومات أيام العشر. وقال عكرمة: «وَاذْكُرُواْ اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَاتٍ» يعني التكبير في أيام التشريق بعد الصلوات المكتوبات اللّٰه أكبر اللّٰه أكبر. ابن كثير ج245/1.
Lesson 34 is titled by sūra rather than by āya, and its bounds (Q 21:64–Q 22:78) are inferred from where the neighbouring sessions begin, so they are soft at the edges. This āya falls outside it. He quotes it here inside the commentary on another verse, which is why it is not filed as exegesis of this one.
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. Passages 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.
