Al-Ikhlaas
سورة الإخلاصThis is the Arabic text of the Tafsīr al-Jalālayn of Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī and Jalāl al-Dīn as-Suyūṭī as the OpenITI corpus has it, from the copy of altafsir.com that the COBHUNI project of Hamburg University took: only the commentary on the verses, with no introductions, no edition and no pagination. Nobody has compared it with a printed book or a manuscript, and no scholar has reviewed it. Each passage stands beside the verses it comments on, which are the Qur’ān text of Tanzil, shown as it is there. Beneath each passage stands its English translation by Feras Hamza, as the copy of Tarteel’s Quranic Universal Library has it; nobody has compared that copy with the printed book either.

قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ 1
{ قل هو الله أحد } فالله خبر «هو» و «أحد» بدل منه أو خبر ثان.
Say: ‘He is God, One (Allāhu is the predicate of huwa, ‘He is’, and ahadun is its substitution or a second predicate).
ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ 2
{ الله الصمد } مبتدأ وخبر: أي المقصود في الحوائج على الدوام.
God, the Self-Sufficient, Besought of all (Allāhu’l-samad constitute a subject and a predicate) [al-samad means] the One Who is always sought at times of need,
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ 3
{ لم يلد } لانتفاء مجانسته. { ولم يولد } لانتفاء الحدوث عنه.
He neither begot, for no likeness of Him can exist, nor was begotten, since createdness is precluded in His case.
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ 4
{ ولم يكن له كفوا أحد } أي مكافئا ومماثلا و «له» متعلق ب «كفوا» وقدم عليه لأنه محط القصد بالنفي، وأخر «أحد» وهو اسم «يكن» عن خبرها رعاية للفاصلة.
Nor is there anyone equal to Him’, neither match nor comparison (lahu, ‘to Him’, is semantically connected to kufuwan, ‘equal’, but precedes it because it is the object of the intended negation; ahadun, ‘anyone’, which is the subject of yakun, ‘is there’, has been placed after the predicate of the latter [kufuwan, ‘equal’] in order to retain the harmony of the end-rhyme [of the verses]).
