And unto Solomon (We gave) the wind, whereof the morning course was a month's journey and the evening course a month's journey, and We caused the fount of copper to gush forth for him, and (We gave him) certain of the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And such of them as deviated from Our command, them We caused to taste the punishment of flaming Fire — 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.

وإلى زيادة الإيمان ولكن هذا لم يكن، المادة قضت على الروح. وإني أدعو إلى الرجوع إلى كتاب اللّٰه وإلى التمسك به، نتفهمه ونمتثل أمره ونجتنب نهيه، فنكون كمن سبقنا من أصحاب الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم.

والعطاء إذا أعطيت إنسانا شيئا وطلبت منه شيئا تيقن أنك لا تسترد عطاءك، إذا وهبت لإنسان ويخاف أنك تأخذ منه العطاء بعد ذلك وكلفته بشيء بعد العطاء يأمن من سلب العطاء كأنه جازاك. ليعرف المصطفى صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم أن عطاءه دائم لا يسلب كلفه «صَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرِ» أعطاه شيئا ولكن كلفه في مقابلة العطاء شيئا ليأمن من السلب.
Read in context →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.
