CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: FIVE ayat, all at this Name only. 20:82, la-ghaffārun, with aṭ-Ṭabarī and Ibn Kathīr; 71:10, Nūḥ’s plea, with Ibn Kathīr and ʻUmar’s prayer for rain; 39:5, the definite Name beside al-ʻAzīz, with Ibn Kathīr; 40:42, the definite Name a second time, with Mujāhid in aṭ-Ṭabarī; and, ADDED, 38:66, the third definite occurrence, with aṭ-Ṭabarī and Ibn Kathīr. It is appended, the other sub-items keep their positions, and the distinct Qurʼan-page verse count in Notes on This Edition moves from 342 to 343.
NAMED HERE BUT NOT CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: 38:65, whose close the night supplication joins to the third definite occurrence above, carried at Name 66; and 40:41, carried at NO Name.
CORRECTED ON THE RECORD, THE COUNTS: computed from the Tanzil text, ghaffār stands five times, three definite (38:66, 39:5, 40:42) and two indefinite (20:82, 71:10); gh-f-r gives 234 words; ghafūr 91, eleven definite. The ref’s nine forms is no longer given. THE REF now gives Ibn Fāris, read on the islamweb transcription; ar-Rāghib and al-Ghazālī, read as quoted in later works, including al-Ghazālī’s distinction of ʻafw as erasure from ghufrān as covering; and Ibn Taymiyyah’s objection that to explain al-Ghaffār as the Concealer falls short, read as quoted in islamweb fatwā 14948.
CORRECTED, THE DESC: it said the Name is not erasure and that unmaking belongs to Al-ʻAfuww, as settled; that is al-Ghazālī’s reading, and Ibn Taymiyyah holds forgiveness to be more than covering, so the division is now stated unnamed. Its promise that the hundredth return is met as the first is replaced by the door of repentance open until the death-rattle, now sourced in the ref to at-Tirmidhī 3537.
THE ROOT: the gloss follows Ibn Fāris with glossBasis ref, and the senseNote no longer speaks of a manuscript.
CORRECTED, THE QURʼAN NOTES: 71:10 said Nūḥ preached this Name for centuries, which the verse does not say; 20:82 and 39:5 carried unattributed readings; all now give the commentators. TWO duʻāʼ.
ADDED FIRST: the supplication ʻĀʼishah reports on turning over in the night, lā ilāha illā llāhu l-Wāḥidu l-Qahhār, rabbu s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍi wa-mā baynahumā l-ʻAzīzu l-Ghaffār, SHARED WITH NAME 15, where it already stood; it carries the Name itself.
CORRECTED AT NAME 15 FOR COHERENCE: that item had no grade, and both Names now carry ṣaḥīḥ (al-Albānī, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Jāmiʻ 4693), confirmed on dorar.net; source strings are identical, and Name 15’s note is left for its own pass. SHARED_LOCI: dua 14 is remapped, the old sub-item 0 moving to 1, and reciprocal entries are added at 14 and 15. Muslim 2719a, from Abū Mūsā, SHARED WITH NAMES 71 AND 72 as other portions (Name 72 named in build 148).
CORRECTED: its source and grade differed from Name 71’s, and now read al-Bukhārī 6398; Muslim 2719a and ṣaḥīḥ (muttafaq ʻalayh) at both, with the note stating that the Arabic is Muslim’s and how al-Bukhārī’s differs. THREE tracked aḥādīth, all at this Name only.
ADDED FIRST: Muslim 2758a with al-Bukhārī 7507, the servant who sins and asks and is forgiven three times, with an-Nawawī’s reading of do what you will, read as quoted in islamweb fatwā 217858. At-Tirmidhī 3540, from Anas.
CORRECTED: its Arabic stopped before wa-lā ubālī at the second clause, which the report has, and now marks the continuation; its grade gave only at-Tirmidhī and Darussalam, and now also al-Albānī and Aḥmad Shākir, ṣaḥīḥ, with Darussalam’s isnād ḥasan as the dataset reads. Muslim 2699a, from Abū Hurayrah.
CORRECTED: its Arabic carried commas, now removed; its note carried capitals and process remarks, and now states that the concealing clause uses satr, not the Name’s root, and gives the rest of the report.
POEMS 14: its last line said Al-Ghaffār never once keeps count, which the book does not say of Allah, Al-Muḥṣī counting all things; its ledger line likewise; the snow now falls for every field that turns back to Him and never runs out.
MEDS 14: 20:82 is now quoted in the book’s translation; the door until the throat is attributed to the Prophet ﷺ; the concealing hadith is quoted in the book’s wording; and regret is acknowledged as part of turning. CH 14 checked and unchanged.
OPEN: the story of a father who opens the gate to a son returning from ruin closely resembles a well-known parable outside the tradition; left for the author (closed by the author’s decision, A27: the story is kept unchanged, and the record of build 182 below names the parallel).
AUDIT: the ref’s citation of at-Tirmidhī 3537 no longer opens a sentence with a capitalised collection name, which the ref-prose linker matches only partly. The earlier source number an-Nasāʼī al-Kubrā 10810 at the night supplication had also produced a link to a sunnah.com page for an unrelated number; the source without a number links nothing.
GLOSSARY: Muttafaq ʻalayh added, the term this and the neighbouring pages use in their grades.
AFTER NAME 71: the Duʻāʼ source for the first clauses of Muslim 2719a paired al-Bukhārī 6398, which gives them in another order (rabbi ghfir lī … fī amrī kullihi) and does not carry the printed wording; cut to Muslim 2719a, as the note already said the Arabic is Muslim 2719a’s. The grade is unchanged. AFTER THE CHAT-END AUDIT OF 81–85: the grade field of at-Tirmidhī 3540 now gives every grader in the dataset’s rows, each attributed to its record (the grade survey). AFTER THE 1–40 HYGIENE READING: the root was recounted on the pointed Tanzil text: 234 words in 202 verses across 58 forms, with no look alike at all, every form the sweep returns being of this root, which is the figure this entry gives. Ghaffār stands five times, three definite at 38:66 and 39:5 and 40:42 and two indefinite at 20:82 and 71:10, and the word standing immediately before the Name at all three definite places is al-ʻAzīz, which count_ghfr.py now asserts. Ghafūr stands 91 times with 11 definite, as this entry says, and the eleven are the eleven Name 34 works from. Ibn Fāris at this root was read in his own text on the islamweb transcription, as the record of the ref above says, and the reading in print is still owed (corrected in build 148: this line had said that he was not read and was given through quotation).
IN BUILD 148, FROM THE PHASE 2 READING: the ref gives the readings of thumma htadā at 20:82 to each commentator as he gives them, Ibn Kathīr the four as printed and aṭ-Ṭabarī the first two, with keeping to the Sunnah from ar-Rabīʻ ibn Anas, knowing the One who repays from al-Kalbī and his own reading, keeping to all of it, where it had credited both with Ibn Kathīr’s four; neither Saʻīd ibn Jubayr nor Sufyān ath-Thawrī stands in aṭ-Ṭabarī’s entry. The ref gives ar-Rāghib and al-Ghazālī as quoted in later works, and the root’s senseNote al-Ghazālī (found in the build), as this note records they were read. READ ON THE WEB on 2026-09-23, not pinned, each holding the page’s words: Ibn Taymiyyah’s passage in his own text, al-Fatāwā al-Kubrā, Masāʼil manthūrah, on Arabic Wikisource; an-Nawawī on Muslim 2758 in islamweb’s library transcription of his Sharḥ, Kitāb at-Tawbah; Ibn Fāris at gh-f-r in islamweb’s library transcription of Maqāyīs al-Lughah, the reading the ref’s record names, so the last line above is corrected in place; the earlier lines giving Ibn Taymiyyah and an-Nawawī as read in islamweb fatwās stand as the record of that pass. The note on at-Tirmidhī 3540 names the fourth grader, Bashshār ʻAwwād Maʻrūf, ḥasan; the share line above names Name 72 beside Name 71.
FROM THE CENSUS: the report’s source field cites Muslim 2758a alone, the record that carries the printed Arabic, al-Bukhārī 7507 standing in the note. The story’s resemblance to a parable waits on the author (A27).
BY THE AUTHOR’S DECISIONS OF 2026-09-25, IN BUILD 182: CH 14 is kept unchanged, and the OPEN item is closed in place. The story’s shape recalls the parable of the returning son in Luke 15. What it makes its own is the return repeated, the intensive the Name carries, and the cost of forgiving in public (A27).
IN BUILD 195, FROM THE BACKLOG READING OF THE LEXICA: Ibn Fāris at gh-f-r is read at Shamela through its page reader, not in print, in Hārūn’s page-numbered edition, vol. 4, pp. 385–386: ʻuẓmu bābihi as-satr, thumma yashudhdhu ʻanhu mā yudhkar, and al-ghafr is as-satr; the ref now gives the place, and the print itself is still owed.
