Sūrat Al-Ḍuḥā · 93 : 5

Q 93:5 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

وَلَسَوْفَ

And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content — 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-Ḍuḥā begins at vol. 10, p. 191 (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.

واحسرتا على ما فرطت في جنب الله. قال له هكذا فأنزل اللّٰه عليه "وَلَلآَخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ ألأولى (وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضِىّ) فقال صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم: (إذاً لا أرضى وواحد من أمتي في النار)1 هو كان يتفكر في أمته والله فرج عليه أنه سيرضيه في أمته ولم يقل وللآخرة خير لهم من الأولى لأن جميع الأمة ليسوا كذلك، والقرآن لا ينطق إلا بالحق ولو قال: وللآخرة خير لبعضهم أو لفلان وفلان أو من صفته كذا وكذا افتضح الباقون فأسند إلى النبي الذي هو مجمع الأمة «وَلَلَاخِرَةُ خَيْرࣱ لَّكَ مِنَ اَ۬لُاول۪يٰۖ» معروف أن النبي صلى اللٰه عليه وسلم غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه وما تأخر، "لَكَ" إنما هو لأهل السعادة من الأمة ولكن اللّٰه ستر الباقين بذكر النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم، كما يحكى أن موسى عليه الصلاة والسلام كان جدب في زمانه فصلى صلاة الاستسقاء ثلاث مرات فلم يُستجب له، فشكا إلى اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى: يارب استسقينا ولم تسقنا، لِم؟ أوحى اللّٰه إليه لأن فيكم نماما، ما دام فيكم لا تسقون، قال: يارب من …

Lesson 7 runs Q 2:253–Q 3:14. 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.

Lesson 12 runs Q 4:87–Q 4:147. 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.
