Sūrat Al-Nisāʾ · 4 : 24

مِنَ الَّا مَا عَلَيْكُمْۖ لَكُم مَّا ذَٰلِكُمُۥٓ أَن فَمَا بِهِۦ مِنْهُنَّ وَلَا عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا بِهِۦ مِنۢ إِنَّ

And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise — 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.

مهورهن التي فرضتم لهن (فَرِيضَةً وَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا تَرْضَيْتُم) أنتم وهن ( به، مِنْ بَعْدِ الْقِبِضَةٍ) من حطها أو بعضها أو زيادة عليها. العوائد في النكاح كلما تراضى الزوج مع الزوجة فلا بأس بذلك وإِنَّ أللَّةَ كَانَ عَلِيماً) بخلقه (حَكِيماً)) فيما دبره (وَمَن لَمْ يَسَطِعْ مِنكُمْ طَوْلًا ) غنى {آن يَنكِحَ ألْمَحْصَنَتِ) الحرائر (الْمَومِنَٰتِ جَيس مَا عَلَكَنَ اَتَنُكُم) فلينكح الإماء (صِ فَتَيَٰتِكُمُ الْمَومِنَٰتْ) من الإماء المؤمنات (وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمْ إِيَنِكُمْ بَعْضُكُم مِنْ بَعْضِ) الإيمان شرط في نكاح المملوكات، والإيمان قلبي فلهذا ذكر سحانه وتعالى «وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَنِكُم» فاكتفوا بظواهره وكلوا السرائر إليه فإنه العالم بتفصيلها، فرب أمة تفضل الحرة، وهذا تأنيس بنكاح الإماء، تزويج المملوكة، مملوكة الغير يجوز إذا عجز الإنسان عن تزويج حرة وخشي العنت، والصبر خير من تزويج المملوكة لأنك تصير ولدك إلى رق، وهذا مذهب مالك أن من عجز عن أن ينكح حرة وخشي العنت فله …
