Sūrat Al-Baqara · 2 : 229

اِ۬لطَّلَٰقُ مَرَّتَٰنِۖ فَإِمْسَاكُۢ بِمَعْرُوفٍ اَوْ تَسْرِيحُۢ بِإِحْسَٰنࣲۖ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمُۥٓ أَن تَاخُذُواْ مِمَّآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَئْاً اِلَّآ أَنْ يَّخَافَآ أَلَّا يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ اَ۬للَّهِۖ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمُۥٓ أَلَّا يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ اَ۬للَّهِ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا فِيمَا اَ۪فْتَدَتْ بِهِۦۖ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اُ۬للَّهِۖ فَلَا تَعْتَدُوهَاۖ وَمَنْ يَّتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اَ۬للَّهِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ اُ۬لظَّٰلِمُونَۖ

Divorce must be pronounced twice and then (a woman) must be retained in honour or released in kindness. And it is not lawful for you that ye take from women aught of that which ye have given them; except (in the case) when both fear that they may not be able to keep within the limits (imposed by) Allah. And if ye fear that they may not be able to keep the limits of Allah, in that case it is no sin for either of them if the woman ransom herself. These are the limits (imposed by) Allah. Transgress them not. For whoso transgresseth Allah's limits: such are wrong-doers Pickthall

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.

الزوجان (ألاَّ يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ اللَّهِ) إلا إذا كان سبب الطلاق أنّهما خافا من أنهما لا يقيمان حدود اللّٰه (فَإِنْ خِعْتَمْوَ أَلاَ يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ ألَّهِ وَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا جِيمَا أَجْتَدَتْ بِيْه) إن كان.

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.
