The evidence of solidarity in the book of Al-Bayan in a stranger Quranic Grammar by Abu al-Barakat ibn AL-Anbari

Abstract

     This research deals with the evidence of solidarity as a verbal evidence among the grammatical evidences that contribute to revealing the meaning and directing the parsing, through studying its applications in the book Al-Bayan fi Gharib I'rab Al-Quran by Abu Al-Barakat Ibn Al-Anbari. The research seeks to highlight how Ibn al-Anbari relied on this evidence in his grammatical and semantic interpretations, and to reveal the extent of its presence in his explanations and directives, while examining its effect in determining the grammatical functions and linking them to the Qur’anic context.

     The study's importance lies in its attempt to link modern theory with traditional scholarship, by reading the concept of solidarity as a contemporary linguistic tool that helps deconstruct ancient grammatical discourse and understand its mechanisms in light of modern linguistic analysis methods. It also seeks to demonstrate the interpretive and functional value of this concept in Quranic studies, and the precision it adds to understanding the Quranic text and appreciating its eloquence.

The objectives of this research are:

1. To uncover the role of the conjunction in Ibn al-Anbari's grammatical guidance in his book Al-Bayan fi Gharib I'rab al-Quran.
2. To demonstrate the extent to which Ibn al-Anbari relied on it in favoring certain grammatical aspects and interpreting meanings in his book Al-Bayan fi Gharib I'rab al-Quran.
3. To highlight the scholarly value of this traditional effort when read in light of modern linguistics.

The research adopted the descriptive and analytical approach in tracing Ibn al-Anbari’s texts and analyzing his evidence, while employing the comparative approach when necessary to clarify the points of agreement and difference between him and other grammarians and commentators, which allows for the construction of a clearer vision of the position of the evidence of solidarity within the system of grammatical evidence in general, and how it interacts with other evidence in serving the Qur’anic text.
