Q 41:31 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

نَحْنُ فِے وَفِے وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا

We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire, and there ye will have (all) for which ye pray — 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 →

In the printed edition: Sūrat Fuṣṣilat begins at vol. 8, p. 185 (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.

(جَزَآء أَعْدَآءِ اللَّهِ النَّارُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا دَارُ الْخُلْدِ) دار إقامة لا انتقال منها أبدا (جَزَآء)) بفعله (بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَۖ وَقَالَ اَ۬لذِينَ كَفَرُواْ) في النار (رَبَّنَآ أَرِنَا اَ۬لذَيْنِ أَضَلَّٰنَا مِنَ اَ۬لْجِنِّ وَالِانسِ نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ اَ۬لَاسْفَلِينَۖ) أول من عصى اللّٰه إبليس، تكبر وقال أنا خير منه، والثاني قابيل قتل أخاه. أول معصية الحسد والكبر من إبليس، والقتل من قابيل 1. فأهل النار يرون أن إبليس الذي سن معصية اللّٰه وقابيل هما الذان أضلاهم، فطلبوا من الله أن يكون هؤلاء إبليس وقابيل تحت أقدامهم. فكل من دخل النار يضع قدميه قدما على رأس إبليس وقدما على رأس قابيل (وإِنَّ ألذِيسَ قَالُواْ رَبّنَا اللَه قُمَّ إسْتَقَمُوا) على التوحيد (تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ الْمَلِّءِكَةُ) عباد اللّٰه الذين آمنوا بالله ونطقوا بالشهادة ثم استقاموا على التوحيد وغير التوحيد مما وجب عليهم من الأعمال الصالحة «تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ …

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.
