Sūrat Al-Nisāʾ · 4 : 10

اِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ اِنَّمَا فِے

Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame — Pickthall

In the printed edition: Sūrat Al-Nisāʾ begins at vol. 2, p. 146 (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.

(وَيَسْئَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَمِى) وما يلقونه من الحرج في شأنهِم، لما نزلت آية "إِنَّ ألذِينَ يَاكْلُونَ أَمْوَلَ اليَتَمِى ظَلْماً إِنَّمَا يَاكُلُونَ فِي بُطَونِهِمْ نَاراً وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ سَعِيرًا شكوا من أمر اليتامى قالوا ما نفعل بأموال اليتامى أنخلط أموالهم بأموالنا فنتحرج أو نعزل أموالهم وإذا عزلناها ضاعت وكيف نصنع لهم طعاما وكذا تحرجوا في شأن اليتامى قال تعالى

صوابا بأن يأمروه أن يتصدق بدون ثلثه ويدع الباقي لورئته ولا يتركهم عالة 1. والَ ألذِيق يَاكُلُونَ أَمْوَلَ الْيَتَمِى ظلْماً بغير حق (إنَّمَا يَاكُلُونَ فِي بُطونِهِمْ) مثلها ((نَاراً) لأنه يؤول إليها (وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ) يدخلون ( سَعِيراً)) نارا شديدة يحترقون فيها. قال الرسول صلى اللّه عليه وسلم ليلة أسري به أنه صلى اللّه عليه وسلم مر بخلق رجال كل منهم له مشفر كمشفر البعير ويلقمون الجمرات من النار فتخرج من أدبارهم فقال من هؤلاء؟ قال: هؤلاء أكلة أموال اليتامى 2.

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.
