The Grammatical Opinions Of The Kufans According To Al- Faridi On The Issues Of Preposing The Subject And The Meem In Allahumma And Their Impact On Modern Scholars/ آراء الكوفيين النحوية عند الفارضي في مسألتي تقديم الفاعل والميم في اللهم وأثرهما على المحدثين
Abstract
This research addresses a significant issue in the history of grammatical studies: namely, the method by which the grammarian Al-Faridi transmitted the opinions of the Kufan school on certain controversial issues, and the impact of this transmission on modern grammatical studies. Two pivotal issues were chosen for application: first, the preposing of the subject before the verb, and second, the origin of the meem in the divine name "Allahumma." The aim of this study is to investigate Al-Faridi's methodology in presenting these opinions and the extent of his accuracy in representing the Kufan school. It then traces the influence of these transmitted opinions in the books of modern grammarians to understand how they were utilized and whether they contributed to the development or the reproduction of the school. The importance of the study lies in highlighting the nature of the grammatical disagreement between the Basran and Kufan schools through precise applied issues. This contributes to understanding the foundations and inferential methodologies of each school, and aids in accurately documenting and attributing grammatical schools to their proponents, especially in light of concerns about some opinions being mistakenly or inaccurately attributed to the Kufans. It also clarifies how modern scholars interacted with the grammatical heritage and how commentaries like that of Al-Faridi helped shape their understanding of controversial issues and develop them in accordance with their own academic contexts.
