۞وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَآ أَنَّ اَ۬لنَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ وَالَانفَ بِالَانفِ وَالُاذْنَ بِالُاذْنِ وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّ وَالْجُرُوحَ قِصَاصࣱۖ فَمَن تَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةࣱ لَّهُۥۖ وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ اَ۬للَّهُ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ اُ۬لظَّٰلِمُونَۖ

And We prescribed for them therein: The life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers Pickthall

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 14 — vol. 3, p. 49 · numbered by Ḥafṣ · the annual Ramaḍān cycle

Recording only — no text here. Lesson 14 runs from Q 5:23–Q 5:81. Of the 59 āyāt in that span, as many as 40 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.

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.
