Sūrat Al-Nisāʾ · 4 : 20

وَإِنَ فَلَا مِنْهُ

And if ye wish to exchange one wife for another and ye have given unto one of them a sum of money (however great), take nothing from it. Would ye take it by the way of calumny and open wrong — 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.

إلا وعنده ثلاث أو أربع 1، هذا معنى «جَان كَرِهْتُمُوهنَّ بَعَبِىَ أَن تَكْرَهُواْ شَيْئا وَيَجْعَل أَنَهُ جِيهِ خَيْراً كَثِيرًا» ما يجده الرجل من الإذاية من ربة البيت له فيه ثواب كثير عند الله، أو الخير الكثير ربما يرزقه اللّٰه ولدا صالحا ( وَإِنَ آرَدتُّمْ إِسْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجِ مَكَانَ زَوْجِ) أخذها بدلها بأن طلقتموها (وَءَاتَيْتُمُ إِحْدِيْهُنَّ) الزوجات (فِنطَاراً)) مالا كثيرا، إذا عزمت على فراق المرأة وقد أعطيتها كثيرا من الأموال والأثاث (قَلا تَاخُذُواْ مِنْهُ شَيْاً) لا تأخذ شيئا من المرأة بعد الطلاق (أتَاخُذُونَهُ بَهْتَنا) ظلما (وَإِثْماً مُبِيناً) بينا لم تأخذون هذا المال وكان المال مقابل شيء؟ (وَكَيْفَ تَاخُذُونَهُو بأي وجه {وَفَدَ آَبْضِى) وصل (بَعْضُكْمُّ الَى بَعْضٍ)، كان بعض الرجل وصل إلى بعض المرأة بالجماع المقرر للمهر، لما كانت وقعت منه هذا الموقع وذلك سببه المال، كيف تأخذون هذا المال من بعد؟ (وَأَخَذْلَ مِنكُم مِيقَفا)
