Selections from Al-Farra’s opinions on “The parsing of thirty Surah from the Holy Quran” by Ibn Khalawayh

Abstract

    Al-Farra’ is one of the most prominent scholars of grammar, interpretation, and language, and many books contain his opinions, and “The Parsing of Thirty Surahs from the Holy Qur’an” is one of these books, and in this book the author’s influence by Al-Farra’ is clearly evident, as he is the scholar most mentioned in this book among the other scholars. Al-Farra’s opinions varied in various linguistic sciences, including: Qur’anic readings, lexical issues, Arabic languages, morphological issues, grammatical issues, and phonetic issues. There were opinions mentioned by Ibn Khalawayh to Al-Farra’ that were not linguistic, but were in news and biographies, and they are outside the framework of this study. ; So I didn't take it. It is worth noting that the scholar Ibn Khalawayh, the author of the aforementioned book, has several works that dealt with the parsing of the Qur’an, including the one in which Ibn Khalawayh expressed the seven readings, explaining them and explaining the reason for their occurrence and effect on parsing, as it is no secret to the student of the Arabic language and the Holy Qur’an, especially that the readings may be affected by dialects and this. Influence is an important reason for the change in parsing. It is no secret to scholars that the Hijaz dialect and their position on (ma) and how they deal with it greatly affect its parsing in the Holy Qur’an.
