The inflence on Ibn Malik by Ibn Alhajib in his books

Abstract

This research focuses on studying the points of influence and impression between the two grammarian imams "Ibn Alhajib" and "Ibn Malek". Its importance is obvious with regard to the good reputation that these two scientists have concerning the grammatical lesson and the impact they had on the consequent grammar studies via their grammatical works that took the attention of the grammarians during the subsequent centuries.

As a first step, the researcher put emphasis on the historical relationship between these two imams and its role in the appearance of the work of Ibn Alhajib in the grammar books of Ibn Malek. Moreover, he dealt with the main topics in which the influence was obvious, such as the limits, the grammar rules, parsing, reasoning, preference and objection.

  through that research, he deduced that this influence was so obvious in the works of Ibn Malek. Moreover, he concluded that some late grammarians paid attention to the antecedence of Ibn Alhajib in some points though Ibn Malek had never associated his name with any of them.
