۞وَمَا إِذْ مَآ عَلَيٰ مِّن مَنَ اَ۬لذِے بِهِۦ مُوس۪يٰ مَّا لَمْ أَنتُمْ وَلَآ ثُمَّ فِے

And they measure not the power of Allah its true measure when they say: Allah hath naught revealed unto a human being. Say (unto the Jews who speak thus): Who revealed the Book which Moses brought, a light and guidance for mankind, which ye have put on parchments which ye show, but ye hide much (thereof), and (by which) ye were taught that which ye knew not yourselves nor (did) your fathers (know it)? Say: Allah. Then leave them to their play of cavilling Pickthall

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.

النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم قال له النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم أنا شدك اللّٰه هل قرأت في التوراة أن اللّه يبغض الحبر السمين؟ وكان هو حبرا سمينا، فغضب فقال «مَآ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَشَرٍ مِ شَيْءَة 1 فلما رجع لامه اليهود فقال أغضبني أبو القاسم فقلت هذا، قالوا : أنت إذا غضبت تكفر بالله وتكفر بما أنزل اللّه؟ وكان هو حبرهم فعزلوه وولوا مكانه كعب بن الأشرف شرا م← (وَمَا قَدَرْوا) أي اليهود (اللَّهَ حَقَّ فَدْرِه) ما عظموه حق عظمته أو ما عرفوه حق معرفته (إِذْ قَالَوا) للنبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم (مَا أَنزَلَ أللَّهُ عَلَىٰ بَشَرِ مَس شَءٌ قُل مَرَ أنزَلَ الكتَبَ ألذِه جَآءَ بِهِ، مُوسِىٰ نُوراً وَهُدىً لِلنَّاس تَجْعَلُونَهُ قَرَاطِيسَ) يكتبونه في دفاتر مقطعة ( تَبْدُونَهَا) أي تبدون ما تحبون إبداءه منها (وَتُخْفُونَ كَثِيراً) مما فيها كنعت محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعلِّمْتُم) أيها اليهود في القرآن (مَا لَمْ تَعْلَمَوَاْ أَنتُمْ وَلَاَ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ)
