INTRODUCTION
mjA fm fZ a Mja nA vA BNnA fZA
.UC A PAu ,jBA E A u
For generations, the book by Shaikh al-Bahai, has been a al-Fawaid as-Samadiyyah
constant element in the 'Arabic curriculum of many Islamic seminaries and institutes of
higher learning. Furthermore, due to its inclusion in the well-known seminary student's
handbook ( ), it has become a fixture in Islamic Jami' al-Muqaddimat PBfA BU
seminaries of Iran and 'Iraq. This handbook contains fifteen small books, twelve of which
are on various topics of 'Arabic grammar including Tasreef, Nahw and grammatical government of words. It also includes two books on logic or Mantiq and a beneficial book, Etiquettes of the student ( ) by Shaikh Naseer ad-Deen Tusi. NA LAeC
As noted in his preface, Shaikh al-Bahai wrote as a guide for al-Fawaid as-Samadiyyah
his brother, 'Abd as-Samad who was a teacher in Jabal-'Amil, the mountainous area
which is now considered Lebanon. To those unfamiliar with the style of such books, this
book may appear cryptic. The book is basically an outline of important issues in Nahw. As such, it requires a teacher or commentary to expound upon the text with details and
provide beneficial examples for the student.
Shaikh al-Bahai divided into five chapters. He refers to each al-Fawaid as-Samadiyyah
chapter as a Hadeeqah, literally meaning . The first chapter contains preliminary a garden matters highlighted for the student's benefit. It covers topics like the definition of Nahw, Kalimah, Kalam . More importantly, he identifies the signs of I'rab in the noun and verb.
The second chapter contains the traditional topics of Nahw: categories of words which are always found to be nominative, accusative or genitive. The third chapter deals with
issues related to the verb, particularly with regard to I'rab. The fourth chapter covers
matters related to sentences. The fifth chapter reviews a selection of individual nouns
and particles.
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
In this commentary, is presented in its entirety in the first al-Fawaid as-Samadiyyah section. The text, its translation and commentary are in the second section.
Also in his preface, Shaikh al-Bahai eloquently indicates that it was 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS),
the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad (S), who first formulated the rules of 'Arabic grammar. It was his intent to protect the Quran from error in interpretation and deliberate
misinterpretation. The 'Arabic of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS), flowing from his genius intellect 1
has produced some of the most inspiring and thought invoking examples of 'Arabic in
history. The compilation of his speeches, sermons, letters and advices, known as Nahj
al-Balaghah, has been universally acknowledged by grammarians as the greatest
example of 'Arabic literature after the Quran itself.
'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) formulated the rules of 'Arabic Grammar and presented these
fundamentals to one of his companions, Abu al-Aswad ad-Duali, who was also very
proficient in 'Arabic. He encouraged Abu al-Aswad to expound upon these fundamentals.
With this, Abu al-Aswad was destined to become the first to write a comprehensive book
on Nahw. This book was studied, copied and expounded upon beginning a tradition which has continued successively for nearly fifteen centuries.
Nahw, then, is a venerable discipline with its own history, chains of transmission, notable personalities and famous texts like every other branch of knowledge. Throughout the text
of this book, Shaikh al-Bahai mentions some of the notable personalities in Nahw. At the
end of the book, I have provided short biographical sketches of some of the famous
grammarians in order to make their contributions more evident. In particular, I have
focused on the early grammarians of Basrah and Kufah as their works have had the most
profound influence upon the discipline of Nahw.
In this preface, I would like to present a biography of Shaikh al-Bahai. Before his
biography, however, I would like to present a short biography of Abu al-Aswad ad-Duali,
the forefather of this discipline:
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
fA emA IC Best known as Abu al-Aswad ad-Duali, his proper name is: . (fA)fA emA IC j I B
He was born during the life-time of the Prophet (S) and migrated to Basrah during the caliphate of 'Umar Ibn al-Khattab. He was one of the scholars of the , the Taba'een
generation subsequent to the generation of the Prophet (S), and is well-known in literature for his exceptional poetry. He is considered a reliable transmitter of narrations
by scholars of both sects.
Abu al-Aswad was also a companion of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) who was the first of the
twelve Shi'ite Aimmah and the last of the rightly guided caliphs of the Sunni. Abu
al-Aswad fought with him at Siffeen. Once he heard a person reciting the following verse from the Quran:
{mi jrA jI A C...}
"(And an announcement from Allah and His Apostle to the people on the day of the
greater pilgrimage that Allah and His Apostle are free from liability to the idolaters." [9:3]
The reciter, however, incorrectly recited the word ( ) with Kasrah ( ) thereby mi mi
changing the meaning to: . That Allah is free from liability to the idolaters and His Apostle
The change of one vowel had a profound impact upon the meaning of this verse and Abu
al-Aswad realized that the meaning of the Quran needed protection as a growing number
of people were reciting the Quran without a clear understanding of 'Arabic. He devised
the Quran's first system of diacritical signs by placing colored dots above or below the
'Arabic letter to accurately indicate its vowel.
Some reports indicate that after hearing his own daughter make a grammatical mistake in
speaking, he complained to 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) about the deterioration of the 'Arabic
language and his fear of its corruption. 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) agreed and began to
formulate for him the fundamental principles of grammar, after which that he said to Abu
al-Aswad: . From this statement, it is said that the term ZA Ah \G Follow this manner
Nahw was coined for grammar. The aim of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) and Abu al-Aswad in
codifying the rules of Nahw was the protection of the meaning of the Quran from
corruption.
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
Afterward, Abu al-Aswad authored what is commonly acknowledged as the first book of
Nahw, ( ). In this treatise, Abu al-Aswad Principles of 'Arabic Grammar IjA ZA uC
expounded upon the fundamentals of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS). The linguist ar-Raghib
al-Isfahani, in his book ( ) says of Abu al-Aswad: Muhadarat al-Udaba , "He FIeA PAjyBZ
was the first to give diacritical signs to the Quran and he laid the foundation of Nahw with
the guidance of 'Ali (AS)." 2
Abu al-Aswad died in the year 69 HQ/~688 CE during the caliphate of 'Umar Ibn 'Abdul-'Azeez.
Among the earliest historical accounts of Abu al-Aswad's book is related to the famous
grammarian, 'Isa Ibn 'Umar (d. 148 HQ /766 CE) who is reported to have recorded and taught this book which was narrated from his teacher Abu Ishaq (d. circa 117 HQ/735 CE). Abu Ishaq is one of the earliest grammarians in the generations subsequent to Abu
al-Aswad whose background is well-known. It is apparent from the reports of his student
that he taught Abu al-Aswad's book.
'Isa Ibn 'Umar, his student, is said to be the founder of the Kufiyyeen school of grammar.
Another of Abu Ishaq's students, Abu 'Amr Ibn al-'Ala (~69-153 HQ/689-770 CE), is considered the founder of the Basriyyeen school of grammar. Such great scholars in their own right, they only magnify the position of their teacher, Abu Ishaq, as the father of the
Basriyyeen and Kufiyyeen.

BJA cq Shaikh Bahai was born on the 17th Muharram 953 HQ/1546 CE. There are differing
reports regarding his place of birth. One reports indicates is that he was born in or near
Ba'labakk (now Lebanon). The area, known as Jabal al-'Amil ( ) is famous for BA JU
producing great scholars. Due to this, he is referred to as al-'Amili ( ). Another report BA
from Abu al-Mu'ali at-Taliwi, however, reports that he was born in Qazveen, Iran.
The third report also says he was born in Iran. Some reports indicate his birthplace to be a
town named Amil ( ) in northern Iran on a road to Mazandaran. Some scholars say that E
it is a repeated mistake that he was referred to as al-'Amili ( ) resulting from mistakes BA
copied in manuscripts. They contend that this mistaken attribution gave life to the idea
that we was born in Jabal al-'Amil in Syria. Other scholars contend that he is referred to
as al-Amili ( ) because this was a name by which his clan was known. A
One of Shaikh Bahai's forefathers, al-Harithi al-Hamdani was also a companion of 'Ali Ibn
Abi Talib (AS). He and members of his tribe fought with Imam 'Ali (AS) at Siffeen. Poetry praising al-Harith and his tribe has been narrated from Imam 'Ali. The tribe of al-Harith
were originally from Yemen and settled in northern region of Iran, called Hamdan. It is
said, then, that the descendents of al-Harith became known as al-Amili ( ). Shaikh A
Bahai's full name is:

It is difficult to know which report is accurate. However, if he was born in Syria, it is
apparent that his father moved to Iran while he was very young and most of his life, from
childhood onward, was spent in Iran.
Shaikh Bahai began his traditional studies with his father in the fields of 'Arabic grammar,
Fiqh, Usul, Hadeeth and Tafsir. He began his studies in the city of Qazveen, the seat of authority with the Safavid government.
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
Shaikh al-Bahai's father, Shaikh Husain Ibn 'Abd as-Samad al-'Amili (919-984
HQ/1512-1576 CE) was a scholar of the Jabal-'Amil. Shaheed ath-Thani, also from Jabal
al-'Amil, has listed his father in his Ijazat as a scholar of the Jabal al-'Amil. It is known that
he also studied with 'Allamah 'Abdullah Yazdi, also of Qazveen. He became well-known in
this city for his knowledge and attracted the attention and esteem of the Safavid King
Shah 'Abbas al-Kabeer.
He traveled extensively throughout the Persian empire including Afghanistan. It is
reported that he was often accompanied in his travels by the king Shah 'Abbas or he
traveled as his guest with other officials. Shah 'Abbas sought to honor him with the post of
leadership of the 'Ulama ( ) a post which he reportedly never officially accepted, FA mBi
although he clearly had an extensive relationship with the king.
His travels took him outside of Persia as well. He visited Egypt where he wrote his Book
Kushkul ( ) wherein he collected rarities related to various branches of knowledge. rA
From Egypt he visited al-Quds (Jerusalem), Hijaz, 'Iraq and the 'Arab Peninsula.
Everywhere he traveled we was acclaimed for his knowledge and piety.
His fame in Persian and 'Arab countries was due not only to his mastery of the traditional
branches of knowledge. He was equally as accomplished as a mathematician,
astronomer and engineer. In all, he composed more than fifty treatises and books the
majority of which were published:
In astronomy, he wrote three well-known treatises: ( ) A Bmi The Lunar
Treatise Explanation of Celestial . A treatise on the lunar cycles; ( ) A \jrM
Bodies . A listing of commonly visible celestial bodies and constellations; and
( ) . Although invented by the either the IjmA BmjA The Astrolabe Treatise
Greeks or Indians, Muslim astronomers and mathematicians had greatly
enhanced the accuracy of the astrolabe by the eighth century.
In traditions, he wrote two books: ( ) BnZA `BZvA SeBYA fA BYC NA JZA
al-Habl al-Mateen , a collection of over one thousand traditions with the Shaikh's commentary. ( ) his selection of forty BRfY IiA `jq Explanation of Forty Traditions,
traditions with his commentary.

In matters of worship and Du'a, he composed: ( ) A A `A `BN The
Keys of Success In the Acts of the Day and Night . A book about worship and
Du'a ( ) a commentary on IjA AfY Hadaiq al-Muqarribeen, Saheefah
as-Sajjadiyyah including other Du'a, published under various names.
In Islamic Law he wrote a number of treatises: ( ) mBJA BVA The 'Abbasi
Collection . A book on the rules of Islamic law which contains chapters up to the
book of Hajj; ( ) A treatise on the calculations used in inheritance SiAA Bmi
( ) A treatise on the slaughtering of the People of the Book; LBNA C \BIg Bmi
( ) A treatise on the Qiblah; ( ) A treatise on the JA Bmi NA eVm BYC Bmi
rulings of the prostration of recitation.
In Usul, the fundamentals of Islamic Jurisprudence, he wrote three books: ( ) fIlA
az-Zubdah; The Mystery of az-Zubdah; Margin ( ) ( ) fIlA l frA fA tAY
notes on the rules of Shaheed (Thani); Margin ( ) uA jvNb fzA `jq qBY
notes on the commentary of al-'Adadi on the Summary of Usul.
In 'Arabic grammar, he wrote two books: ( ) fvA fAA al-Fawaid as-Samadiyyah
and ( ) . BJA KhM Tahzheeb al-Bayan
In mathematics, his two most famous published works were: ( ) LBnZA ua A
summary of calculations . Published in Iran and Germany, this book was still in
use until the nineteenth century in some parts of Iran; ( ) LBnZA jZI The Sea of
Calculations . These two books highlight the principles of addition, subtraction,
division and fractions. He was one of the mathematicians who embraced the
Hindi numbering system which we currently utilize.
Shaikh Bahai is known to have written many treatise on mathematics. In fact, by the end
of the sixteenth century, Shaikh Bahai was well-known throughout 'Arabia as well as
Persia for his mathematical works. His name and works appear in many of the indices
cataloging the scholarly works of his era. In that era, numerous commentaries were
written on many of his works, some of which have been translated into western
languages, particularly German. It is reported that when he died, he was working on a
book named ( ) which dealt with the topics of algebra and the LBnZA jJU Jabr al-Hisab,
proofs of the calculations of area and distance.
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
One of his most devoted students, Sayyid Haydar al-Husaini al-Kurki narrates about the Shaikh:
"I was in his service for forty years in residence and in travel. With me there was great
love and friendship for him. I traveled with him to visit the Aimmah of 'Iraq, prayers and
peace be upon them. I read with him numerous Ahadith in Baghdad, al-Kazimain, an-Najaf ash-ashraf and the courtyards of al-Husain and al-'Askariyyain (AS). In each of these places he permitted me access to all of the books of Hadith, Islamic Law, Tafsir and others.
I was with him traveling to visit (the shrine of) ar-Rida (AS) in which the Senior Nawwab
Khaldullah was at his service, he set out always walking barefoot from Isfahan to his visit
(of ar-Rida-AS). There, I read with him the Tafsir of Surah al-Fatihah from his Tafsir named al-'Urwah al-Wuthqa and his commentary on Du'a al-Misbah and Du'a ( ) QA jA
al-Hilal from as-Saheefah as-Sajjadiyyah. Then, we set off for the city of Herat
(Afghanistan) which he and his father had previously visited. Then, we returned to
Mashhad Muqaddas and from there we set off for Isfahan. In all, I read from him, first, in
the prime of youth, Alfiyyah of Ibn Malik in Nahw. Then, I read with him numerous of treatises of his (own) authorship. I read with him (his) commentary on Forty Traditions
( ). ( ) BRfY IiA `jq iBJaA KhM I read the first volumes of Tahzheeb al-Akhbar and al-Kafi
( ) BA by Thiqah al-Islam Muhammad Ibn Ya'qub al-Kulaini. (I read) the first volume of
(Shaikh Saduq's) al-Faqeeh and most of (Shaikh Tusi's) book al-Istibsar ( ) A jzZ
( ) iBvJNmA except a little at its end.
I read with him a summary of sayings on Ma'rifah ar-Rijal and Dirayah ( ) ( ) BUjA j AifA
written by his father and his (book) Dirayah which he had made as a preface to his book
Habl al-Mateen I read Habl al-Mateen with him from which he extracted forty ( ). NA JZA
Hadith compiled by Shaheed (ath-Thani). I read with him a treatise named Tahzheeb
al-Bayan and Fawaid as-Samadiyyah, both of which are his writings in Nahw. He died in Isfahan in the year 1030 at the time of our return from visiting the Sacred House of Allah.
Then, he was moved to the mausoleum of ar-Rida (AS) and he was buried near there in
his house close to (ar-Rida's-AS) blessed presence. His grave there is well-known and
the elite and the masses alike visit him." 3
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
Shaikh Bahai died in Isfahan on the 12th of Shawwal 1030 HQ/1621 CE. Like his
birthplace, the exact year of his death is disputed. This date was given by two of his
students Sayyid Haydar al-Husaini al-Kurki (whose report was just mentioned) and al-Majlisi (The First) who were both present at the time of his death and performed his
funeral rites. Other dates between 1030 and 1035 have also been mentioned regarding
his death. According to the various reports, he was between 77 and 82 at the time of his
death. As mentioned, he is buried in Mashhad Muqaddas next to the mausoleum of the
highly revered 'Ali Ibn Musa ar-Rida (AS). Millions of ar-Rida's (AS) devotees also visit
Shaikh Bahai's mirror-tiled mausoleum and pay their respects to him as well, thereby
keeping his memory vibrant for nearly four hundred years since his death. 4
It is my hope that this translation and commentary on will al-Fawaid as-Samadiyyah expose Shaikh al-Bahai to a new audience in the west. English-speaking students of
Islamic studies are acutely aware of the lack of comprehensive books in 'Arabic grammar
and other topics in English. Hopefully, the commentary on will al-Fawaid as-Samadiyyah benefit students seeking knowledge of 'Arabic and complement the contributions of
English texts to Islamic studies. My prayer is that students in the west will also adopt and
continue this venerable tradition of learning and teaching as exemplified in the
generations of great personalities preceding us.
This commentary on is divided into two parts. The full 'Arabic al-Fawaid as-Samadiyyah text is presented in the first part. In the second part, each section of the text is translated
followed by a commentary.
Although the age of the book approaches 400 years, it is as useful today as any book on
Nahw from any subsequent era. The passage of time has not dated its content nor contradicted its rulings nor the author's perspectives. Thus, the title is to be Samadiyyah taken as more than a mere association with the author's family name. It praises the divine
and eternal relationship between 'Arabic and Islam.

PREFACE
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The most excellent word by which speech can be initiated and the best message by
which to seal an aspiration is Your praise O God! for the abundance of blessings. Prayers
and peace be upon the leader of mankind, Muhammad, prayers of Allah be upon him and
his descendants, the pious, the honorable. Especially his cousin, 'Ali (upon him be
peace) whom he positioned as a standard of Islam. He raised him in order to break the
idols, cut the necks of wicked rebels and to formulate the knowledge of Nahw in order to protect speech (from error).

Then, these are eternally useful lessons in the discipline of 'Arabic (grammar). Collected
from this art is that which benefits the public and the understanding of which is most
important for the inexperienced. It contains important lessons in the rules of I'rab. Gems
unseen except by the possessors of understanding. I have created it for (my) dearest
brother, 'Abdus-Samad. May Allah make him one of the scholars of (the people of
Jabal-'Amil). May (this book) benefit him and all believers. It is comprised of five gardens:

[1.0] THE FIRST GARDEN:
That which I intend to advance as a highlight:
Nahw: Knowledge of the rules of 'Arabic expressions from the perspective of their declension and construction.The benefit of Nahw is the preservation of the tongue from mistakes in speech. Nahw's subject is the word (Kalimah) and speech (Kalam).
The word, then, is an expression of a singular subject. It is either a noun (Ism), verb (Fi'l)
or particle (Harf). Speech is an informative expression with predication (Isnad). Speech is
only accomplished with two nouns or a verb and a noun.
_________________________
[1.0] COMMENTARY
In the first chapter or Hadeeqah (literally meaning a garden), Shaikh al-Bahai prefaces his
main discussion with the introduction of some preliminary definitions and concepts that
the reader will undoubtedly need in understanding many aspects of this book.
First, the definition of Nahw is put forth. Nahw is defined as the rules of 'Arabic expressions. The use of the term expressions (Alfaz) as opposed to words (Kalimat) is
due to the distinction that an expression can be a meaningful signification of one's
thoughts while words alone do not convey a meaning unless organized in a particular
manner that is determined by grammatical rules.
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
Nahw, then, is the study of such rules that distinguish useful, understandable expressions from non-understandable or incomplete expressions. Particularly, as the rules relate to a
word's declension (I'rab) and construction (Bina).
Declension or is a characteristic of the 'Arabic noun and verb by which the word's I'rab
grammatical state is indicated by signs appearing most often at the end of a word. These
signs change with a change in the grammatical state of the word. The grammatical state
of a word is altered by the government of other words. The 'Arabic word capable of
indicating the signs of I'rab is referred to as ( ) or . Mu'rab LjA declinable
Construction or here refers to the construction of words wherein there are no Bina
indicators of I'rab found at the end of a word. As these types of words are incapable of
indicating a state of I'rab, their grammatic state and indicator of I'rab must be estimated.
The construction of such words are referred to as ( ) or , meaning Mabniy JA indeclinable
to have a fixed ending.
As we delve further into this section, the role declension and construction will be further
clarified with examples.
The benefit of grammar is protection against error in speech and, likewise, in writing. The
body of rules collectively known as grammar serves as a guidance for proper speech.
Clear and effective speech is a by-product of the mastery of a language on different
levels. The mastery of grammar being fundamental.
The subject of Nahw revolves around the word itself (Kalimah) and speech (Kalam). The
difference between the two being that a word is an individual element of an expression
while speech is a collection of words which, as an expression, conveys a complete
meaning.
Kalam, therefore, is an arrangement of Kalimah that signifies a complete thought. If
someone says: , it is a Kalimah, a singular word. Although it has meaning, in that we Zaid
can understand it to be a name of someone, it leaves the listener waiting for some
information to be attributed to Zaid.
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
Without that attribution, the Kalimah alone does not convey a complete thought. The
listener may wonder: If the listener already knows who Zaid is, it will still Who is Zaid?
leave him to wonder: As such, it is not a meaningful expression even What about Zaid?
though Zaid may be known to the listener.
The expression: , conveys information about Zaid. Grammarians would Zaid is my father
refer to it as a proper sentence as it conveys a complete meaning. In this sentence, the
word is only one element of the expression. Therefore, is a Kalimah while the Zaid Zaid
entire expression, , is Kalam. The attribution of being is Zaid is my father my father
associated with Zaid. By means of that attribution, more is understood with regards to
Zaid than can be understood from the Kalimah alone. Zaid
This process of attribution is referred to predication, defined as: "To state or affirm as an
attribute or quality of something." 5 In the example, the attribute of being my father is
attributed to Zaid forming a simple noun sentence: . is the IC fk Zaid is my father Zaid
Subject and is the predicate, meaning that attribute or quality being attributed to my father
the subject. This predication is referred to as Isnad ( ) by the author. Predication also eBmA
occurs in verbal sentences as well, such as:
IC fk B Zaid was my father
Nahw is concerned with the Kalimah as it exists within the context of a sentence or expression. Nahw is not particularly concerned with the Kalimah itself. There is another branch of 'Arabic grammar referred to as Tasreef, that is related to the Kalimah, its derivation and patterns.
Nahw is also referred to as syntax. Syntax being defined as: "the study of the rules whereby words or other elements of sentence structure are combined to form
grammatical sentences." grammatical sentences complete expressions The terms and 6
denote one in the same thing.

[1.1] EXPLANATION:
The noun is a word whose meaning is established independently being un-associated
with one of the three tenses. The noun is distinguished by the genitive state (Jarr); the
Vocative (Nida); the Definite Article (Lam); Nunnation (Tanween); the dual (Tathniyyah)
and the plural (Jam').
The verb is a word whose meaning is established independently (while being) associated
with one of the three tenses. The verb is distinguished by (the particle) Qad; the Feminine
Ta and the Nun of Emphasis (Nun at-Takeed).
The particle is a word whose meaning is not established independently nor is (its
meaning) associated with one of the three tenses. It is known through lack of acceptance
of any of the particularities of its two siblings (the noun and verb).

[1.1] COMMENTARY
This section clarifies the definition of each part of speech, meaning the noun, verb and
particle.
In English grammar, the noun is defined as: " The part of speech that is used to name a
person, place, thing, quality, or action..." 7 The 'Arabic noun embraces this definition as
well. The meaning associated with a noun can be understood from only the noun itself
without any connection to any other word, as in: . It is understood as a place of Mosque
Islamic worship. That associated meaning has no connection with time or tense, meaning
the past, present or future tense.
Samadiyyah In Nahw by Shaikh Baha-ud-Deen al-'Amili L BA fA BI cr ZA fvA LBN
There are six signs that distinguish a noun from other parts of speech. They are:
1) The Genitive State or ( ). The genitive state is uniquely associated Jarr jVA
with nouns. This state is created in a noun whenever a noun is preceded
by a genitive particle, known as ( ). These particles Harf al-Jarr jVA jY
include such common words as: and: . Genitive G From; To In
particles will only precede nouns which they govern, thereby altering
their grammatical state, as in: jBA G PjBm I traveled to Cairo.
Here, the genitive particle ( ) precedes the noun (Cairo) G al-Qahirah
resulting in the noun being genitive as indicated by the Kasrah at its end.
Kasrah is the primary indicator of the genitive state in nouns. Often the
genitive particle extends the government of the verb to words other than
its subject and object as the nature of the particle is that it often provides
linkage between words.
The genitive state may also be produced in nouns by the annexation of
one noun to another, known as . Most often this construction Idafah
signifies possession (whether physical or abstract), connection or
composition, as in:
A fJ VA Ja Servant of Allah; Friday Sermon;
z MBa A Silver Ring
The first part of the Idafah is referred to as: ( ) and the al-Mudaf BzA
noun annexed to it is known as: ( ), the latter al-Mudaf Ilaihi G BzA
always being in the genitive state. This annexation of the second noun
also defines the first.
Grammarians say that the genitive state in the Mudaf Ilaihi is due to the
estimation of a genitive particle whose government is present while the
particle itself is not. The original expression could be estimated, for
example, to be: , wherein the genitive state is due to the zA MBa
genitive particle ( ). Min

The direct government of a particle over a noun or verb is an example of
literal government or ( ). The government of the Lafziyyah A BA
Idafah, on the other hand, is semantic government related to meaning or
Ma'nawi ( ). A BA
2) The Vocative or ( ). The vocatives are a group of particles used Nida EfA
in summoning or calling someone. These particles are found preceding
nouns which they define, as in: ; fZ B IB O Muhammad! O My son!;
{...AE hA BCB} The noun which they define are O you who believe!
known as the ( ) and will be always in the nominative state. Munada eBA
The Munada, as a rule, may only be a noun. The , in most Munada
cases, is a definite noun as the speaker generally intends to call
someone in particular. Technically, if someone unknown is being
summoned, then the should be indefinite. Such as a blind man Munada
who summons help without knowing who is around him: fI ha UiB O
man! Take my hand! As opposed to summoning someone who is known,
as in: fI ha fk B O Zaid! Take my hand!
3) The Definite Article or ( ). In 'Arabic the Definite Article is commonly Lam
referred to as A
