The Grammarians’ Disagreement about The Permissibility of The Subject According to Ibn Asfour (d. 669 AH) in Sharh al-Jamal (An Analytical Study)

Abstract

The Arabs bound themselves to inherited rules and measurements that were designed to refine speech and balance its meaning. They were like linguistic customs and traditions due to which the opinion of those who departed from them was corrupted and invalidated. It was considered impossible in Arabic custom, impermissible and forbidden by agreement and agreement at times, and by disagreement and disagreement at others.

  The school was the same, the hearings were diverse, and the scholarly tastes differed. They were united by a language that was not like all languages, may God honor and preserve it. It is difficult to limit it, and knowledge of it is impossible. This resulted in the difference between the original, the correct, and the common, contrasted with a branch, an error, a few, and sometimes anomalous and rare, out of the norm and unheard of from the Arabs, so a group tended to support the common abundance that agreed with the rules. According to time and place, and others that support every letter heard about the Arabs and attributed to them, and as a result of this an impossible impossibility appeared, corresponding to the permissibility of it being used as evidence from what was heard from the Qur’an and the Hadith and from what the Arabs said in poetry and prose.
