Q 5:2 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

اَ۬لذِينَ لَا وَلَا وَلَا وَلَا وَلَآ مِّن وَإِذَا وَلَا اَن عَنِ أَن عَلَي وَلَا عَلَي إِنَّ

O ye who believe! Profane not Allah's monuments nor the Sacred Month nor the offerings nor the garlands, nor those repairing to the Sacred House, seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord. But when ye have left the sacred territory, then go hunting (if ye will). And let not your hatred of a folk who (once) stopped your going to the inviolable place of worship seduce you to transgress; but help ye one another unto righteousness and pious duty. Help not one another unto sin and transgression, but keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is severe in punishment — 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 →

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.

يدخل عليكم رجل لسانه لسان منافق وقلبه قلب شيطان فدخل وادعى أنه يريد الإسلام فلقنه الشهادتين وخرج فوجد إبل الصحابة خارج المدينة فسرقها كلا وساقها وفر إلى أهله، ففتشوا فما وجدوا له خبرا، وفي العام القابل خرج الصحابة إلى الحج، فلما دخلوا الحرم رأوه يسوق القلائد، قالوا هذا فلان سائق إبلنا لابد أن نقتله وهم في الحرم، فنزلت 2 وتَّهَا ألذِيَ ءَامَنُواْ لا تُحِلُّواْ شَغِيِرَ أللَّهِ) أي معالم دينه بالصيد أو التعرض للظالم في الحرم وَلا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ) بالقتال فيه (وَلَاَ ألْهَدْىَ) أحد ساق هديه (وَلَا الْقَلِّيِدَ) وقلدهم فلا

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.

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.
