Lo! men who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey, and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard (their modesty), and men who remember Allah much and women who remember - Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward — 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.

وروى أحمد عن عبد الرحمن بن شيبة قال سمعت أم سلمة زوج النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم تقول قلت للنبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم ما لنا لا نذكر في القرآن كما يذكر الرجال قالت فلم يرعني منه يومئذ إلا ونداؤه على المنبر قالت وأنا أسرح شعري فلففت شعري ثم خرجت إلى حجرة من حجر بيتي فجعلت سمعي عند الجريد فإذا هو يقول عند المنبر يا أيها الناس إن اللّٰه يقول في كتابه إن المسلمين والمسلمات والمؤمنين والمؤمنات إلى آخر الآية أعد اللّٰه لهم مغفرة وأجرا عظيما.

الصالحين: ليتنا في يقظتنا كابن المبارك في نومه. قال إنه يرى المرأة في النوم فيعلم أنّها ليست حلالا فيفر منها وهو نائم (وَالذَّٰكِرِينَ اَ۬للَّهَ كَثِيراࣰ وَالذَّٰكِرَٰتِ) من حافظ على خمس صلوات في اليوم والليلة فقد ذكر اللّٰه كثيرا. هذه عشر مراتب اشترك فيها الرجال والنساء.
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.
