A book Dha al-Qad in the grammar By Abi Al-Fath bin Jinni (392h) Study and compiling the rest of the texts of it

Abstract

: This research is concerned about compiling the rest of the texts of the book (Dha al-Qad) by Ibn Jinni, and introducing the book, which is considered to have been lost. The research adopted an investigative approach to gather all citations and adaptations from this book in various sources. Hence, it appeared in two sections. I dedicated the first section to study the book (Dha al-Qad), where I discussed the title of the book, its attribution to Ibn Jinni, its subject, stuff, scientific value and impact.

In the second section, I collected what I could obtain from the texts of the book (Dha al-Qad) and arranged them in a manner adequate enough to give a picture of the book and its content.

It appeared from these texts that Ibn Jinni compiled this book from the words of his teacher Abu Ali al-Farisi, as described by biography books, in addition to Ibn Jinni’s own statements on some issues, and presentation of his views to his teacher.
