Q 69:18 in the tafsīr of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse

لَا مِنكُمْ

On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be hidden — 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-Ḥāqqa begins at vol. 10, p. 76 (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.

للعرض الأكبر)1 هذا هو العرض الأكبر الذي يحتاج الإنسان أن يتزين له «لَا تَخْف۪يٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةࣱۖ» حاسبوا أنفسكم قبل أن تحاسبوا، الحساب لابد منه فعلى العبد أن يحاسب نفسه قبل الحساب، كل واحد منا يعين وقتا إذا جاء الوقت ينظر فيما عمل في نهاره وليله ما كان من طاعة يحمد اللّه عليه وما كان غير ذلك يستغفر اللّٰه ويتوب، من دام على هذا لحساب يكون حسابه يسيرا، ومن لم يحاسب نفسه حتى وقع الحساب (من نوقش الحساب عُذب) 2 جَأَمَّا مَن اوتِيَ كِتَبَهُو بِيَمِينِهِ) الكتب تطير من الخزائن متوجهة إلى المحشر كلكم يأتيه كتابه من كان سعيدا يأتيه كتابه في يمينه، ومن كان غير ذلك يأتيه كتابه بشماله «بَأَمَّا مَنُ اوتِىَ كِتَابَهُو بِيَمِينِهِ» وأول من يأخذ كتابه بالسعادة عمر بن الخطاب رضي

(30248): عن عمر بن الخطاب أنه قال في خطبته: حاسبوا أنفسكم قبل أن تحاسبوا وزنوا أنفسكم قبل أن توزنوا، وتزينوا للعرض الأكبر يوم تعرضون لا تخفى منكم خافية.

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.
