Sūrat Al-Anʿām · 6 : 8

لَوْلَآ عَلَيْهِ وَلَوَ ثُمَّ لَا

They say: Why hath not an angel been sent down unto him? If We sent down an angel, then the matter would be judged; no further time would be allowed them (for reflection) — Pickthall

In the printed edition: Sūrat Al-Anʿām begins at vol. 3, p. 112 (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.

الكفر ونور الإيمان. اللّه هو الذي خلق السماوات والارض تراهما وخلق الظلمات وخلق النور، جمع الظلمات وأفرد النور لكثرة أسباب الظلمات (ثُمَّ ألْذِينَ كَبَرُوا) مع قيام هذا الدليل (يرَبَهمْ يَعْدِلُونَ) يعدلون يسوون برهم غيره في العبادة ( هَوَ أَلِذِ خَلَقَكُم فِي طيب بخلق أبيكم آدم منه (ثُمَّ قَضِى أَجَلًا) لكم تموتون عند انتهائه (وَأَجَلٌ مُسَمَحى مضروب ( عِندَةٌ) لبعثكم ( ثَمَّ أَنتُمْ) أيها الكفار (تَمْتَرُونَ)) تشكون في البعث بعد علمكم أنه ابتدأ خلقكم ومن قدر على الابتداء فهو على الإعادة أقدر (وَهُوَ أللَّهِ) المعبود المستحق للعبادة (بِ السَّمَٰوَاتِ وَمِي الأَرْضِ يَعْلَمْ يِرَّكُمْ وَجَهْرَكُمْ) ما تسرون وما تجهرون (وَيَعْلَمْ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ)) تعملون من خير وشر ( وَمَا تَاتِيهِم) أهل مكة مِسَ-ايَةٍ مِ ايْتِ رَبِّهِمُوَ) من القرآن (إِلَّ كَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينٌ فَدْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْحَقِّ) القرآن ( لَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ بَسَوْقَ يَاتِيهِمْ أَثبوا) عواقب (مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِءُون …
