Q 25:26 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

عَلَي

The Sovereignty on that day will be the True (Sovereignty) belonging to the Beneficent One, and it will be a hard day for disbelievers — 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 Al-Furqān begins at vol. 7, p. 18 (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.

ولا ليل ولا نَهَار ولا نوم، نعيم مقيم؛ وهم في حر النار فقال إنّهم أحسن منهم مستقرا ومقيلا، هذا تَهَكم بِهم، لا مقارنة بينهما، لما ذكر المقيل من صفات الجنة فُهِم من ذلك أن الحساب ينقضي نصف النهار فأهل الجنة - جعلنا اللّٰه منهم - يقيلون في الجنة، وأهل النار أعاذنا اللّٰه من ذلك يقيلون في النار، الحساب من طلوع الشمس إلى نصف النهار فقط فيفرغ اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى من جميع حساب أعمال العباد، وَيَوْمَ تَشَّفَّوْ السَّمَآءُ أي كل سماء بالْغَمَمِ معه وهو غيم أبيض، انشقت السماء وانشق الغمام الذي تحت السماء (وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلْبِكَةُ) من كل سماء ( تَنزِيلًا) فيأتي الملائكة، هذا يوم القيامة (اِ۬لْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ اِ۬لْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِۖ)، ذلك اليوم، الملك في كل يوم لله، ولكن هو منازع في لملك الآن، كلهم يدّعي مُلكا، سينغور يدعي ملك سينغال، "ديغولُ يدعي ملك فرنسا، "خريتشوف ..

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.
