Documenting the Uncharted Evidences of Quranic Readings in Ibn ‘Aqeel’s Explanation as Edited by Muhammad Muhyi al-Din Abdul Hamid (Linguistically, Morphologically, and Syntactically)

Abstract

This study aims to document the uncharted Quranic readings (Shawahid) in Ibn ‘Aqeel’s Explanation as edited by Muhammad Muhyi al-Din Abdul Hamid, focusing on linguistic, morphological, and syntactic aspects. The research is divided into two main sections: the first deals with evidences related to the lightening and strengthening of the letter "Nūn" and the omission of "Lām" and "Nūn," while the second addresses evidences of application and neglect in incomplete verbs and verbs resembling "laysa." The researcher adopted a linguistic and syntactic analytical approach to document and interpret these evidences, highlighting the role of irregular readings (Shadhdh) in enriching grammatical rules. The study concluded that irregular readings constitute strong grammatical evidence, are not necessarily unacceptable, and may originate from companions or successors. Additionally, lightening in readings may result from frequent usage or other morphological and phonetic reasons.
