Sūrat Al-Fatḥ · 48 : 27

Q 48:27 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

لَّقَدْ إِن لَا مَا لَمْ مِن ذَٰلِكَ

Allah hath fulfilled the vision for His messenger in very truth. Ye shall indeed enter the Inviolable Place of Worship, if Allah will, secure, (having your hair) shaven and cut, not fearing. But He knoweth that which ye know not, and hath given you a near victory beforehand — 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 Al-Fatḥ begins at vol. 9, p. 50 (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.

الرُّمْيَا بِالحَقِّ رسول اللّٰه صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم رأى في النوم عام الحديبية قبل خروجه أنه يدخل مكة هو وأصحابه آمنين ويحلقون ويقصرون فأخبر بذلك ففرحوا، فلما خرجوا معه وصدهم الكفار في الحديبية ورجعوا وشق ذلك عليهم وراب بعض المنافقين نزلت هذه الآية ولَقَدْ صَدّقَ أللَّهُ رَسُولَةُ ألرَّءْيَا بِالْحَقِّ لَتَدْخَلْىَ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ إِن شَآءَ اللَه امِنِينَ مُحَلَفِيتَ رُوسَكُمْ وَمُفَصِّرِيلَ) هذه الرؤيا صادقة لا محالة. ستدخلون المسجد الحرام إن شاء الله.

The printing brackets no quotation here. A run of consecutive words in this paragraph — three at the shortest — occurs in one place in the muṣḥaf and nowhere else, and every āya lying inside that run is credited, so a run crossing a boundary attests both. Matching folds together the letter shapes the scan confuses, so the words need not stand in the āya exactly as printed.

اللٰه قال هذه الكلمة تعليما لنا، وأما هو فلا يشك في وعده، قال ابن عباس: من ملك الأمر وعلم قال إن شاء الله، فكيف أنت الذي لم تملك ولم تعلم؟ فلابد أن تقول إن شاء اللّٰه في المستقبل (لا تَحَاجُونَ بَعَلِمَ) في الصلح ( مَا لَمْ تَعْلَمُواْ فَجَعَلَ مِن دُونِ ذَلِكَ فَتْحاً قَرِيباً) هو فتح خيبر وتحققت الرؤيا في العام القابل (هُوَ ألذِةَ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُو بِالْهَدِى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيَظْهِرَهُو) دين الحق (عَلَى ألدِّين كُلِّهِ) على جميع الأديان (وَكَصِبى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً() أنك مرسل بما ذكر كما قال اللّٰه تعالى (مُ حَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ه محمد رسول الله. اللّه أرسل رسوله محمدا ( وَالذِيرَ مَعَهُو أصحابه من المؤمنين أَشِدَّاء غلاظ (عَلَى الْكُمَارِ) لا يرحمونهم (رُحَمَآءُ بَيْنَهُمْ متعاطفون متوادون كالوالد مع الولد. هذه صفة أصحاب رسول اللّٰه صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم. إن اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى لما تجلى للأراوح في يوم أخذ الميثاق وجد صفوف الأنبياء أول الصفوف ومحمد على رأسهم يقول لا إله إلا …

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. Passages 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.
