Q 58:13 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

أَن فَإِذْ لَمْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا

Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do — 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-Mujādala begins at vol. 9, p. 189 (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.

المناجاتكم (رَحِيمٌ) بكم فلا عليكم. ثم نسخ بقوله ( أَشْجَفْتُمُ) خفتم (أَن تُقَدِّمُواْ بَيْنَ بَدَعْ نَجْوِيُكُمْ صَدَقَتٍ) الأغنياء يخافون على غناهم من هذا والفقراء ما عندهم شيء وقَإِذْ لَمْ تَجْعَلُوا الصدقة وَتَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ) رجع بكم عنها فَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلَوَةَ وَاتُوا الزَّكَوَةَ وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَةٌ دوموا على ذلك (وَاللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونُ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ألذِينَ تَوَلَّوْاْ قَوْماً غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم) نزل في عبد اللّٰه بن نبتل كان منافقا شريرا أقبل على الرسول صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم فقال يدخل عليكم رجل لسانه لسان شيطان وقلبه قلب شيطان، فدخل فبش رسول اللّٰه صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم في وجهه فقالت عائشة: سبحان الله، قلت في الرجل ما قلت وأظهرت له البشاشة ما هذا؟ قال: (إنا لنكشر في وجوه قوم وقلوبنا تلعنهم) ! فنزلت هذه الآية[2] (أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ألذِيرَ تَوَلَوْا هم المنافقون كعبد اللّٰه بن نبتل

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.
