كَالذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوٓاْ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةࣰ وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَٰلاࣰ وَأَوْلَٰداࣰ فَاسْتَمْتَعُواْ بِخَلَٰقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلَٰقِكُمْ كَمَا اَ۪سْتَمْتَعَ اَ۬لذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُم بِخَلَٰقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَالذِے خَاضُوٓاْۖ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتَ اَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فِے اِ۬لدُّنْي۪ا وَالَاخِرَةِۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ اُ۬لْخَٰسِرُونَۖ
Even as those before you who were mightier than you in strength, and more affluent than you in wealth and children. They enjoyed their lot awhile, so ye enjoy your lot awhile even as those before you did enjoy their lot awhile. And ye prate even as they prated. Such are they whose works have perished in the world and the Hereafter. Such are they who are the losers — 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.
Sustained interpretation of the verse as a verse — lemma, gloss, expansion.

Recorded, not yet transcribed. Lesson 22 runs from Q 9:34–Q 9:92. Of the 59 āyāt in that span, 32 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.
