فَلَمَّا لَهُمَا عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ أَلَمَ عَن تِلْكُمَا لَّكُمَآ إِنَّ لَكُمَا
Thus did he lead them on with guile. And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide (by heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called them, (saying): Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you: Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you — 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.

(جَلَمَّا ذَافًا الشَّجَرَةَ) أكلا منها (بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَاتُهُمَا)) ظهر لكل منهما قُبله وقبُل الآخر ودبره ودبر الآخر (وَطَعِفَا يَخْصِصَرِ)) أخذا يلزقان (عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَقِ اِلْجَنَّةِ)) ليستترا به

قوائم جميلة في الجنة[17]، ولما لم يقدر إبليس على دخول الجنة ليوسوس لآدم صرخ بأعلى صوته خارج الجنة فأتته الحية، بكى وقال لها: أنا عندي نصيحة لآدم ولا أقدر على دخول الجنة اجعليني في فمك حتى لا تراني الملائكة فأذهب إلى آدم وأؤدي له النصيحة. ففعلت الحية هذا، فدخل إبليس على حواء فوجد آدم غائبا فأقسم بالله أن هذه الشجرة شجرة الخلد إذا أكلا منها لا يخرجان من الجنة أبدا، وإذا لم يأكلا منها لابد أن اللّٰه يخرجهما من الجنة، قالت حواء لا يقدر أحد أن يقسم باسم اللّٰه وهو كاذب[18]، فتناولت الشجرة أخذت ثلاث حبات أكلت واحدة في الحين وادخرت واحدة لنفسها وادخرت واحدة لزوجها، فأتى آدم فأكل حبة فطارت عنهما ملابسهما كلا، فبكى آدم وصاح في أرض الجنة حتى أخذه الملائكة، قال اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى: يا آدم ما لك؟ قال إنه أكل الشجرة، "أَلَمَ أَنْهَكْمَا عَنْ تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ"، قال: أطعمتني حواء. فقال لحواء ما لك؟ قالت: نصحني إبليس وأقسم باسمك ولا أحد يقدر أن يقسم بإسمك كاذبا. فقال: ما لإبليس ولدخول الجنة؟ قال: …
Read in context →Lesson 3 runs Q 2:26–Q 2:59. This āya falls outside it. He quotes it here inside the commentary on another verse, which is why it is not filed as exegesis of this one.
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.
