Sūrat Al-Furqān · 25 : 48

Q 25:48 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَهُوَ اَ۬لذِےٓ مِنَ

And He it is Who sendeth the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky — 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.

أَرْسَلَ الرِّبَحَ نُشراً بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهُ، متفرقة قدام المطر، الأرياح التي تسوق الأمطار إن اللّٰه أرسلها إلينا، وعادة اللّٰه كلما ذكر الرياح في القرآن بالجمع فهي للرحمة، وبالإفراد فهي للعذاب؛ الرياح لواقح، والمرسلات، والذاريات، ونشرا، كل هذه الرياح رياح الأمطار، لأن الريح إذا كانت للرحمة تهب خفيفة متفرقة الأجزاء فلهذا جمعت، وإذا كانت للعقاب تكون مجتمعة قوة واحدة، فرياح العذاب: العقيم، وصرصر، والقاصف، والعاصف، اثنان في البحر واثنان في البر 1 "لرِّيحَ الْعَفِيمَ مَا تَدَرُصِ شَيْءٍ أتَّتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّ جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمٌ" (وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ألسَّمَاءِ مَاءَ طَهُوراً مطهرا (لِنُحْبِىَ بِهِ بَلْدَةَ مَيْتان يابسة (وَنُسْفِيَهُ ) الماء (مِمَّا خَلَفْنَآ أَنْعَمام إبلا وبقرا وغنما (وَأَنَاسِىَّ كَثِيرًا) جمع إنسان (وَلَفَدْ صَرَّمْنَهْ) الماء (بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا ليتذكروا يعلمون أن القادر على إحياء الأرض بعد موتها قادر على إحياء البشر بعد موته ( وَأَبِىّ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ …

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.
