What is Warsh ʿan Nāfiʿ?
Warsh is a transmission of the reading of Imam Nāfiʿ al-Madanī. It is widely used in Morocco and parts of North and West Africa. The reader uses the King Fahd Complex Warsh text and its own verse numbering. The sample below is Al-Fatihah in that text.
Al-Fatihah in the Warsh text
بِسْمِ اِ۬للهِ اِ۬لرَّحْمَٰنِ اِ۬لرَّحِيمِ
اِ۬لْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ اِ۬لْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿1﴾
اَ۬لرَّحْمَٰنِ اِ۬لرَّحِيمِ ﴿2﴾
مَلِكِ يَوْمِ اِ۬لدِّينِۖ ﴿3﴾
إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُۖ ﴿4﴾
اُ۪هْدِنَا اَ۬لصِّرَٰطَ اَ۬لْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿5﴾
صِرَٰطَ اَ۬لذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ ﴿6﴾
غَيْرِ اِ۬لْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا اَ۬لضَّآلِّينَۖ ﴿7﴾
