The Extender

Al-Bāsiṭ

The inn by the river crossing — room made at a crowded table.

Meaning

From b-s-ṭ, to extend and spread out; basṭ is the opposite of qabḍ. Al-Bāsiṭ extends provision to whom He wills and widens it by His generosity and mercy; some add the spreading of souls in bodies at life, or the widening of hearts for good. The Qurʼan gives the act, and a sound report names Him al-Qābiḍ al-Bāsiṭ together, as scholars teach they are best said. He extends and restricts knowing what sets each servant right; a wide portion is not in itself a mark of honor, nor a narrow one of abasement; both are a trial. The Name borders Ar-Razzāq, the Provider, and Al-Wāsiʻ, the All-Encompassing. It asks the servant to be grateful in the wide season, to spend without stinting or squandering, and not to take abundance for his own worth.

Root b-s-ṭ — to extend and spread out, in breadth or otherwise; the opposite of qabḍ

The definite Name does not occur in the Qurʼan; the verb does, at 2:245, wa-llāhu yaqbiḍu wa-yabsuṭ. Computed from the Tanzil text, b-s-ṭ gives 25 words in 23 verses. Of Allah in 16: yabsuṭu r-rizqa li-man yashāʼ at 13:26, 17:30, 28:82, 29:62, 30:37, 34:36, 34:39, 39:52 and 42:12; law basaṭa at 42:27; His two hands at 5:64; basṭah given at 2:247 and 7:69; the clouds spread at 30:48; the earth made a spread at 71:19; and 2:245. Of creatures in 7: 5:11, 5:28, twice, 6:93, 13:14, 17:29, twice, 18:18 and 60:2. Ibn Mājah 2200, Abū Dāwūd 3451 and at-Tirmidhī 1314 give the noun in the Prophet’s ﷺ words, al-Qābiḍ al-Bāsiṭ; the list at at-Tirmidhī 3507 carries it too, with the caveat recorded at Name 6, and so does Ibn Mājah 3861’s. Ibn Fāris: b-s-ṭ is one root, the extending of a thing in breadth or otherwise; a man’s hand is bisṭ when he spends freely, and basṭah in anything is amplitude. Lisān al-ʻArab, under the Name: the One who extends provision for His servants and widens it for them by His generosity and mercy, and spreads the souls in the bodies at life. Al-Khaṭṭābī, as quoted in later works, teaches that the two Names are best said together, since al-Qābiḍ alone would describe Him only by withholding. On 2:245 Ibn ʻĀshūr glosses the pair as al-Māniʻ and al-Muʻṭī, the One who withholds and the One who gives, and al-Baghawī reports that some read the verse of hearts. Aṭ-Ṭabarī on 5:64: His two hands are outstretched with giving and the provision of His servants, neither fettered nor closed. Ibn Kathīr on 17:30: a statement that He is ar-Razzāq, al-Qābiḍ al-Bāsiṭ, enriching and impoverishing by His wisdom. On 29:62 Ibn ʻĀshūr takes lahu of whomever He wills, one party extended and another restricted. Aṭ-Ṭabarī on 34:39: He widens provision for whom He wills, whether as an honor or not, and straitens it, whether as an abasement or not, but as a trial and a test. Ibn Kathīr on 89:17: He gives wealth to whom He loves and to whom He does not, and the servant’s part is gratitude in wealth and patience in want.

Story

Where the road crossed the river stood an inn, and it was known for a warmth that had nothing to do with its fire. Its keeper, a broad and laughing woman named Perah, had a gift: travelers who arrived guarded and closed — merchants sizing up everyone in the room, mourners locked inside their grief, strangers braced against strangers — somehow, by the time they left her table, had unbent.

Shoulders came down. Fists became hands. People who had not spoken of their troubles in years found themselves talking, and lighter for it.

She did nothing you could point to. She simply made room — an extra place at a crowded table, a question asked without prying, a laugh offered freely until the guarded soul across from her risked one of their own.

It was not a talent she had been born with. She had kept the inn twelve years with her husband, and had been, by her own account, a brisk and rather unwelcoming woman for most of them — efficient, fair, and no use whatever to anybody who came in carrying something. She learned the rest of it in the two years after he died, when she was the one sitting at the end of a table with nothing to say and nobody asking.

There was a wool merchant who came through twice a year and never once sat with anyone. One night in the third year he was still at the table after the others had gone up, telling Perah about a daughter he had not seen since her wedding.

He did not weep. He talked for two hours, and in the morning he left as usual. The next spring he came back and sat nearer the middle of the room.

Poem

The same lungs that let their air go a moment ago
are already widening for the next.

You do not tell them to. They do not go looking
for the air that left, to take back exactly that and no more.
They take in new air —
one breath drawn after another is let go, every few seconds,
for as long as a life keeps going.

A river spends all winter narrow, minding its banks,
keeping to the channel the low months left it —
then spring comes, and it forgets to mind anything.
It reaches into fields that had convinced themselves,
all winter, that they were only fields,
not riverbed at all.

There is a kind of giving that is not a refund,
not counted out against what was taken.
Not the old loss handed back. Something new.
Fresh air, not the last breath’s.
Water the banks were never built to hold.

Al-Bāsiṭ is said beside Al-Qābiḍ, not against it:
one Lord withholds and gives in abundance,
and knows what each season is for —
the low months that kept a river to its banks,
the field that remembers, some spring,
it was riverbed once,
and could be
wider
than a river.

Reflection

The Widening

There are mornings the chest simply widens. No cause you can point to: the same house, the same worries, the same body — and yet the air goes further down, the day looks wide, and trouble that filled the room last week now fits in a drawer. You did not do this. You know you did not, because you tried all week and couldn’t.

Al-Bāsiṭ is the Extender — of provision first, and, some of the commentators read, of hearts widened for good. When some claimed the hand of Allah was fettered, the Qurʼan answered: Rather, His two hands are outstretched; He spends however He wills. And the Prophet ﷺ said, in a report from Abū Mūsā, that Allah extends His hand by night so that the one who did wrong by day may repent, and by day so that the one who did wrong by night may repent, until the sun rises from its place of setting — so that at this hour, whichever hour this is, you are still invited to turn back from the last twelve hours’ worth of you.

The widening can also be asked for. When Mūsā was commanded to go to Pharaoh, the first thing he asked for in Sūrat Ṭāhā was not the argument and not the outcome: my Lord, expand my breast for me — and then, in that order, make my task easy for me, and untie the knot from my tongue. The chest first. He did not ask to be spared the errand; he asked to be widened enough to carry it. Which is a request you are allowed to make on any ordinary day, about a room a great deal smaller than Pharaoh’s.

Here is the pair’s hard symmetry, and most people only brace for half of it. The Qurʼan says a person is tried when his Lord honors him and favors him — and tried, in the very same word, when He restricts his provision; the man in the verse reads the first as honor and the second as humiliation, and is told: no. The open season is also an exam, and it is the one people fail smiling. Contraction’s assignment is patience. Expansion’s assignment is gratitude — and gratitude is not the warm feeling; it is the work: naming the Giver, widening the table, refusing to believe the wide day was your own weather.

So when a widening does come — ease after a tight year, the chest unclenching, the river back in the fields — spend it the way it arrived: outward, and without squandering it. Make room. Set the extra place. Ask the question that isn’t prying. And never once, from inside your open season, look down on someone still in their narrow one; you may have been there last week, and one Lord apportions both.

Patience is the assignment of the narrow day; gratitude, of the wide one.

Qurʼan

وَاللَّهُ يَقْبِضُ وَيَبْسُطُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

And Allah withholds and grants abundance — and to Him you will be returned.

2:245 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The verb pair from which the Name is drawn, closing the verse that asks who will lend Allah a goodly loan. Ibn ʻĀshūr: the root of basṭ is the opposite of qabḍ, a releasing and letting go, and from it branch giving and generosity; he glosses al-Qābiḍ al-Bāsiṭ as al-Māniʻ and al-Muʻṭī, and reads the verse either as His taking the gifts and charities and extending the reward, or as His holding some souls back from good and extending others toward it, with a hint of widening for the one who spends. Al-Baghawī reports these with the readings of provision, of life and death, and of hearts: He contracts some so that they are not eager for good, and extends others so that they send good ahead.

لَهُ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He extends provision to whom He wills and restricts it. Truly He is Knowing of all things.

42:12 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

Ibn Kathīr, referring the keys, maqālīd, to Sūrat az-Zumar: in sum, He disposes of the heavens and the earth and judges in them. On the verbs: He widens for whom He wills and straitens for whom He wills, and His is complete wisdom and justice. The verse closes on His knowledge of all things.

اللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Allah extends provision to whom He wills among His servants, and restricts it for him. Truly Allah is Knowing of all things.

29:62 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

Aṭ-Ṭabarī: He widens His provision for whom He wills of His creation and straitens it for whom He wills of them, so let no fear of want hold them back from emigrating and striving against the enemy; He knows who is set right only by abundance and who only by restriction. Ibn ʻĀshūr takes lahu, for him, as returning to whom He wills, taken generally, so that one party is extended and another restricted. He adds that the verb is joined by lām, for him, rather than ʻalā, against him, to show believers tried in their wealth that the restriction is for them, for its reward and the raising of their degrees.

بَلْ يَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ يُنفِقُ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ

Rather, His two hands are outstretched; He spends however He wills.

5:64 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

Mabsūṭatān, the passive participle of the Name’s root, answering those who said the hand of Allah was fettered. Ibn ʻAbbās, in aṭ-Ṭabarī and Ibn Kathīr: they did not mean that His hand was bound, but that He was stingy and held back what He had. Aṭ-Ṭabarī: His two hands are outstretched with giving and bestowal, with the provision of His servants and the sustenance of His creation, neither fettered nor closed; He spends as He wills, giving to one and straitening another. He reports, last and at length, those who hold that the hand is an attribute and not a limb like the limbs of the children of Ādam, and that the reports and the scholars agree on it; the two hands are affirmed, as the book’s note on the attributes holds, without asking how. Ibn Kathīr cites under the verse the report that the right hand of Allah is full and spending does not diminish it, which he says both Ṣaḥīḥs carry.

فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ ۝ وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ

As for man, when his Lord tries him and honors him and favors him, he says: my Lord has honored me. But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says: my Lord has humiliated me.

89:15–16 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The verb is the same in both halves, ibtalāhu, He tries him, and the Name’s root is absent: the second half restricts with qadara. Ibn Kathīr reads the first half as a widening of provision to test him, which the man takes for an honor from Allah, and the second as a straitening he takes for an abasement; 89:17 answers kallā, not so, in either case, for Allah gives wealth to whom He loves and to whom He does not, and straitens it for both, and what matters is obedience in each state: gratitude when rich and patience when poor.

وَلَا تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَىٰ عُنُقِكَ وَلَا تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًا مَّحْسُورًا ۝ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا

And do not make your hand chained to your neck, nor extend it to its full extent, lest you sit blamed and exhausted. Truly your Lord extends provision to whom He wills and restricts it; truly He is ever Aware, Seeing of His servants.

17:29–30 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

The root twice of the servant’s hand and once of his Lord. Ibn Kathīr: a command to moderation in living, blaming stinginess and forbidding extravagance: do not be tight-fisted, giving no one anything, and do not spend beyond your means, or you will sit blamed if you withhold, and exhausted, like a beast too spent to go on, if you overspend; he names Ibn ʻAbbās, al-Ḥasan and Qatādah among those who read it so. On 17:30: a statement that He is ar-Razzāq, al-Qābiḍ al-Bāsiṭ, disposing of His creation as He wills, enriching and impoverishing by His wisdom, Aware and Seeing of who is fit for wealth and who for poverty; and wealth may be for some a drawing-on, and poverty a punishment.

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُ ۚ وَمَا أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ

Say: Truly my Lord extends provision to whom He wills among His servants and restricts it for him. And whatever you spend of anything, He replaces it; and He is the best of providers.

34:39 (Qurʼan, opens quran.com)

Aṭ-Ṭabarī: He widens provision for whom He wills of His creation, whether as an honor to him or not, and straitens it for whom He wills of them, whether as an abasement or not, but as a trial and a test; and what you spend in obedience to Allah, He replaces for you. Ibn ʻĀshūr: its like came shortly before, at 34:36, as a reply to the idolaters, and here nearly the same words encourage the believers, with min ʻibādihi, among His servants, added in their honor; lahu, for him, hints that the restriction is not without benefit to the one restricted, in the reward for contentment with his share and in being spared the reckoning for it on the Day of Resurrection. Al-Qurṭubī: the replacement may come in this world or in the Hereafter.

Dua

رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

My Lord, expand my breast for me, and make my task easy for me, and untie the knot from my tongue, that they may understand my speech.

Qurʼan 20:25–28

Mūsā’s prayer when he was commanded to go to Pharaoh. Aṭ-Ṭabarī: expand my breast to hold the revelation You entrust to me and to be bold in addressing Pharaoh, and make easy for me the message You charge me with. The Name and its root are absent: sharaḥa is carried as nearest in meaning, a widening asked of Allah, since al-Baghawī reports that some read His extending at 2:245 of hearts.

Hadith

إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّازِقُ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى رَبِّي وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَطْلُبُنِي بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فِي دَمٍ وَلَا مَالٍ

Truly Allah is the One who sets prices, the Restrainer, the Extender, the Provider. I hope to meet my Lord with no one seeking redress from me for a wrong in blood or in property.

Ibn Mājah 2200 · ṣaḥīḥ (al-Albānī); ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ (Shuʻayb al-Arnaʼūṭ); isnād ṣaḥīḥ (Darussalam)

From Anas: prices rose in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and people asked him to fix them. The Name is spoken in the Prophet’s ﷺ own words, beside al-Qābiḍ. Abū Dāwūd 3451, carried at Name 20, has ar-Rāziq as here, and at-Tirmidhī 1314, carried at Name 17, has ar-Razzāq; the three come through Ḥammād ibn Salamah, from Thābit, Qatādah and Ḥumayd, from Anas.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ لِيَتُوبَ مُسِيءُ النَّهَارِ وَيَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ بِالنَّهَارِ لِيَتُوبَ مُسِيءُ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّىٰ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا

Allah, Mighty and Majestic, extends His hand by night so that the one who did wrong by day may repent, and extends His hand by day so that the one who did wrong by night may repent — until the sun rises from its place of setting.

Muslim 2759a · ṣaḥīḥ

From Abū Mūsā al-Ashʻarī, through Shuʻbah from ʻAmr ibn Murrah from Abū ʻUbaydah; Muslim adds a second route to Shuʻbah with the like of it. Yabsuṭu yadahu, the verb of the Name with Allah as its subject, affirmed, as the book’s note on the attributes holds, without asking how. What the report ties it to is repentance: the one who did wrong by day may repent by night, and the one who did wrong by night may repent by day, until the sun rises from its place of setting.

مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُبْسَطَ لَهُ فِي رِزْقِهِ وَيُنْسَأَ لَهُ فِي أَثَرِهِ فَلْيَصِلْ رَحِمَهُ

Whoever would love to have his provision extended for him and his term deferred, let him keep his ties of kinship.

al-Bukhārī 5986; Muslim 2557b · ṣaḥīḥ (muttafaq ʻalayh)

From Anas, through ʻUqayl from Ibn Shihāb in both collections, with the same words. Yubsaṭa, the Name’s verb in the passive, with the One who extends left unnamed. Al-Bukhārī 5985 has it from Abū Hurayrah with man sarrahu, whoever would be glad, and Muslim 2557a, through Yūnus, has man sarrahu too, with yubsaṭa ʻalayhi rizquhu aw yunsaʼa fī atharihi. It names keeping the ties of kinship as the deed joined to the widening.

فَأَبْشِرُوا وَأَمِّلُوا مَا يَسُرُّكُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا الْفَقْرَ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُبْسَطَ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا كَمَا بُسِطَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَتَنَافَسُوهَا كَمَا تَنَافَسُوهَا وَتُهْلِكَكُمْ كَمَا أَهْلَكَتْهُمْ

So rejoice, and hope for what will please you. By Allah, it is not poverty that I fear for you; but I fear for you that the world will be spread out for you as it was spread out for those before you, and you will vie for it as they vied for it, and it will destroy you as it destroyed them.

al-Bukhārī 3158 · ṣaḥīḥ (muttafaq ʻalayh)

From ʻAmr ibn ʻAwf al-Anṣārī, who fought at Badr: Abū ʻUbaydah came back from al-Baḥrayn with wealth, the Anṣār heard of it and came to the dawn prayer, and the Prophet ﷺ smiled on seeing them and said this. The wording is al-Bukhārī’s, through Shuʻayb from az-Zuhrī; Muslim 2961a, through Yūnus, has mā l-faqra, wa-lākinnī and tubsaṭa d-dunyā ʻalaykum, and at 2961b Muslim records that Ṣāliḥ’s route has wa-tulhiyakum kamā alhathum, and distract you as it distracted them. Tubsaṭa and busiṭat are the Name’s verb in the passive: the widening of the world named as the trial he feared for them more than want.

CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: SEVEN ayat. 2:245, SHARED WITH NAME 20, with Ibn ʻĀshūr and al-Baghawī; 42:12, with Ibn Kathīr; 29:62, with aṭ-Ṭabarī and Ibn ʻĀshūr; 5:64, with Ibn ʻAbbās, aṭ-Ṭabarī and Ibn Kathīr; and 89:15–16, SHARED WITH NAME 85, with Ibn Kathīr — the other three at this Name only (corrected in build 151); and, ADDED, 17:29–30, with Ibn Kathīr, and 34:39, with aṭ-Ṭabarī, Ibn ʻĀshūr and al-Qurṭubī, both at this Name only. They are appended, sub-items 0 to 4 keep their positions, and the distinct Qurʼan-page verse count in Notes on This Edition moves from 351 to 353.

NAMED HERE BUT NOT CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: 42:27, carried at Name 20; 2:247, 5:11, 5:28, 6:93, 7:69, 13:26, 18:18, 28:82, 30:37, 30:48, 34:36, 39:52, 60:2 and 71:19, all carried at NO Name; 13:14, carried at Name 44; 89:17, carried at Name 42; 20:25–28, carried at NO Name, standing on this Name’s supplication page, its first verse also on Name 18’s.

CORRECTED ON THE RECORD, THE COUNTS: the entry gave none; computed from the Tanzil text, b-s-ṭ gives 25 words in 23 verses, of Allah in 16 and of creatures in 7, and yabsuṭu r-rizqa li-man yashāʼ stands nine times.

CORRECTED, THE ROOT: the gloss had glossBasis desc and no source. Ibn Fāris and Lisān al-ʻArab were read on the hawramani transcriptions; the gloss now follows Ibn Fāris, with glossBasis ref, and a senseNote is added. Lisān also carries az-Zamakhsharī’s reading of the two hands as a figure for generosity with no hand, which the book’s note on the attributes does not follow, and it is not cited.

CORRECTED, THE DESC: it said the name-form comes from the traditional enumeration, when a sound report gives it, as Name 20 records; it said the two Names are never read apart, which overstates the teaching that they are best said together; and it gave the answer of 5:64 in paraphrase. It now gives the root, the reading of provision with the reported readings of souls and of hearts, the report, the Name’s working by knowledge, the trial of 89:15–17, unnamed, the neighbouring Names 17 and 45, and what the Name asks.

THE REF: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 3451 and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2759 stood in forms the book does not use, the first with an incomplete grade; the ref now gives the counts, the three collections that carry the report, the list at at-Tirmidhī 3507 with its caveat, Ibn Fāris, Lisān, al-Khaṭṭābī, read only as quoted in later works as at Name 20, Ibn ʻĀshūr, al-Baghawī, aṭ-Ṭabarī and Ibn Kathīr.

CORRECTED, THE QURʼAN NOTES: 2:245’s note assigned the two motions to one hand, which makes casual imagery of an affirmed attribute, and cited no one; 42:12’s cited no one; 29:62’s said both verbs fall on the same servant, two seasons of one life, when aṭ-Ṭabarī and Ibn ʻĀshūr take the one extended and the one restricted as different servants, and the claim is removed; 5:64’s carried a process remark about citation parity; 89:15–16’s pointed to the reflection and did not say the root is absent. Each now gives the commentators. ONE duʻāʼ. Qurʼan 20:25–28, SHARED WITH NAME 18 as another portion: its note set the prayer before Pharaoh, when aṭ-Ṭabarī sets it at the command to go to him, and called it the Name’s own work, which had no source; it now gives aṭ-Ṭabarī and states the distance, with al-Baghawī’s report that some read the extending at 2:245 of hearts. FOUR tracked aḥādīth.

ADDED FIRST: Ibn Mājah 2200, from Anas, naming Allah al-Qābiḍ al-Bāsiṭ, SHARED WITH NAMES 17 AND 20, which carry the same report as at-Tirmidhī 1314 and Abū Dāwūd 3451; its grades are the dataset’s, al-Albānī, Shuʻayb al-Arnaʼūṭ and Darussalam, and SHARED_LOCI now links the three Names both ways. Muslim 2759, CORRECTED: the source now reads Muslim 2759a, the reference sunnah.com gives, as 2759a, b, for the Shuʻbah route and its second route; its note built an image of a hand opened and kept open, now removed, and it now gives the chain and the repentance the report ties the verb to.

ADDED: al-Bukhārī 5986 with Muslim 2557b, the widening of provision joined to keeping the ties of kinship, with al-Bukhārī 5985 and Muslim 2557a noted; and al-Bukhārī 3158 with Muslim 2961a, the world spread out as the trial feared, with Muslim’s record of Ṣāliḥ’s route at 2961b — both at this Name only.

MEDS 21: the title The Opening, the sense of Name 18, becomes The Widening; the old verse becomes the Qurʼan, quoting 5:64 in the book’s translation; the old teaching becomes the Prophet ﷺ in a report from Abū Mūsā, restoring the repentance and the sunrise the report names, and the reach already out is removed; the hardest room anyone has ever been sent to, which has no source, is removed; 89:15 was quoted as honors and expands, and now follows the verse; gratitude as rent, which implies the Giver’s need, becomes the work; when the opening comes, a promise, becomes when a widening does come; the same two hands hold both, which the book avoids, becomes one Lord apportions both; the recurring ordinary Tuesday is removed.

POEMS 21: a lung that empties itself completely and takes more with every breath, which the body does not do, is corrected; a giving that refuses to be measured, against 42:27, and more than the loss, a promise, are rephrased; it does not ask permission, which reads as a creature acting on its own, is rephrased; a channel carved by a dry season becomes the low months; the hand that closes and the reach that follows every fist, imagery the book avoids and a promise, become one Lord who withholds and gives in abundance and knows what each season is for.

CH 21: the definition centred the opening of a closed heart, the sense of Name 18, and now reads room made at a crowded table; had opened becomes had unbent, after al-Jawharī, read on the hawramani transcription, who gives inbisāṭ as leaving off reserve.

OPEN: the supplication of Rifāʻah az-Zuraqī at Uḥud, lā qābiḍa limā basaṭta and allāhumma bsuṭ ʻalaynā, was read in Musnad Aḥmad 15492 on islamweb, but no grader’s verdict was verified, and it is not added; at-Tirmidhī 3500, wassiʻ lī, is ḍaʻīf by al-Albānī, Aḥmad Shākir and Darussalam, and its dataset Arabic and English disagree, so it is not added; how the commentators read the widening of provision through the ties of kinship was not read.

COHERENCE: Name 17’s Study Note named 34:39 as carried at NO Name and now names it at Name 21; the ḥadīth notes at Names 17 and 20, and both Names’ Study Notes, now name Ibn Mājah 2200 as carried at Name 21.

AUDIT AFTER NAME 65: the Ḥadīth link for Ibn Mājah 2200 to Name 17, Name 20 was of the kind the reader shows as Also at, which says the same text is printed there, and those pages prints different Arabic; it is now shown as Another portion at. AFTER THE CHAT-END AUDIT OF 71–75: MEDS 21 uses His two hands and His hand in the words of 5:64, as this Name’s Qurʼan page renders it, and of Abū Mūsā’s report, carried on its Ḥadīth page as Muslim 2759a; the house’s phrase check flags the words, and they are left, being the texts’ own. AFTER THE CHAT-END AUDIT OF 81–85: the grade field of Ibn Mājah 2200 now gives every grader in the dataset’s rows, each attributed to its record (the grade survey). AFTER THE CHAT-END AUDIT OF 1–99: the link to Names 17 and 20 was read on all three pages and stands; the MEDS phrase His hand, in the words of 5:64 as this page renders them, is confirmed recorded and left. AFTER THE 1–40 HYGIENE READING: the named line segment for 20:25 to 28 said only that it stands on this Name’s supplication page; it now says carried at NO Name, standing on this Name’s supplication page, its first verse also on Name 18’s. The standing exception at this Name, the wording of 5:64 in the meditation, is untouched and stays as it was checked and kept.

IN BUILD 151, FROM THE PHASE 2 READING: the carried line above is corrected in place, 89:15–16 standing at Name 85 as well, linked exactly, as Name 85’s note records. The ref names Ibn Mājah 3861’s list beside at-Tirmidhī 3507’s. The note on al-Bukhārī 5986 gives Muslim 2557a man sarrahu too, as al-Bukhārī 5985 has it.

FROM THE CENSUS: the fourth report’s source field cites al-Bukhārī 3158 alone, the record that carries the printed Arabic, Muslim 2961a standing in the note.

IN BUILD 207, FROM THE READING OF THE GRADES: Muḥammad Fuʼād ʻAbd al-Bāqī is no longer named as a grader on this page: the row the ḥadīth dataset gives in his name is al-Albānī’s ruling as it is printed with ʻAbd al-Bāqī’s edition of Ibn Mājah, read at Shamela through its page reader, not in print, and the edition gives no verdict of its own beyond quoting az-Zawāʼid; al-Albānī’s grade stands where it stood, and earlier records keep their words.
