Sūrat Ghāfir · 40 : 28

وَقَالَ رَجُلࣱ مُّؤۡمِنࣱ مِّنۡ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ يَكۡتُمُ إِيمَٰنَهُۥٓ أَتَقۡتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ ٱللَّهُ وَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ وَإِن يَكُ كَٰذِبࣰ ا فَعَلَيۡهِ كَذِبُهُۥۖ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقࣰ ا يُصِبۡكُم بَعۡضُ ٱلَّذِي يَعِدُكُمۡۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفࣱ كَذَّابࣱ‏

And a believing man of Pharaoh's family, who hid his faith, said: Would ye kill a man because he saith: My Lord is Allah, and hath brought you clear proofs from your Lord? If he is lying, then his lie is upon him; and if he is truthful, then some of that wherewith he threateneth you will strike you. Lo! Allah guideth not one who is a prodigal, a liar

In the printed edition: Sūrat Ghāfir begins at vol. 8, p. 159 (Tūnis 2022, 10 vols.)

The site’s Arabic edition follows Warsh ʿan Nāfiʿ; the reference text quoted here and the matcher behind the Fī Riyāḍ loci are Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim. Content is nearly identical, but verse-boundary numbering diverges in a handful of places. Each locus carries its own witness’s numbering. Page references 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.

Fī riyāḍ al-tafsīr li-l-Qurʾān al-karīm

1383 / 1964 · Arabic · Lesson 44 — vol. 8, p. 159 · numbered by Ḥafṣ · the annual Ramaḍān cycle

Session transcribed; this āya not located within it. Lesson 44 is titled by sūra rather than by āya; its bounds (Q 40:1–Q 40:85) assume the session opens at the first verse of its first named sūra, and of the thirty sessions that state their own range, three do. Read the edges as unsettled. Of the 85 āyāt in that span, 49 are quoted in the transcription; this one is not among them, so whether he comments on it is not established. The page given is where the lesson opens — start there and read on.

Read in the school

Not Shaykh Ibrāhīm’s words. Students and successors reading the same verse — kept below and apart, because a school’s reading is evidence of transmission, not of what the master said.

Working transcription — not yet proofread against the printing.

Muḥammad al-Mishrī, not Shaykh Ibrāhīm — the school reading, in a responsum. Question 15.

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.
