ABOUT THE BOOK

Grammatical evidence has always played a central role in the study of the Arabic language, shaping how rules are established, interpreted, and evaluated. While some linguistic evidences have been widely preserved and discussed across generations, others have gradually faded from scholarly attention. This book focuses on those enduring grammatical evidences that form the backbone of Arabic grammatical theory.

The work examines the methodological approach of Ibn Hishām al-Anṣārī, one of the most influential figures in classical Arabic grammar, as presented in his renowned commentary شرح شذور الذھب. It explores how Ibn Hishām identified linguistic phenomena, organized grammatical material into structured categories, and engaged with the views of earlier grammarians, whether through detailed comparison or by referencing authoritative sources.

By analyzing Ibn Hishām’s treatment of grammatical evidence, the book highlights the scholarly principles that underpin his method—grounded reasoning, careful interpretation, systematic classification, and critical evaluation. It also demonstrates how he drew upon a wide range of linguistic sources, including the Qur’an, prophetic traditions, and classical Arabic poetry, to support grammatical argumentation.

Written in a clear and accessible academic style, this study offers valuable insight into the foundations of Arabic grammatical methodology and serves as an important resource for students and scholars of Arabic linguistics, grammar, and classical Islamic studies.
