Grammatical Guidance for Irregular Readings in the Book of Irregular Readings by Al-Karmani (d. after 563 AH)

Grammatical Styles as a Model

Abstract

This research examines the influence of grammar on the science of readings. This research aims to orient the anomalous readings in Al-Karmani's book grammatically, focusing on grammatical methods. It also examines the extent to which these readings conform to and differ from the rules of grammar, and the extent to which the anomalous readings can be used in grammatical studies to expand the rules and explain phenomena. This research utilizes a descriptive and analytical approach, with the help of statistical and comparative approaches.The research aims to know that the grammarians’ positions on the deviant readings were scientific and methodological, and it was shown that their acceptance or rejection was dependent on the extent of their conformity to the grammatical standard. It also aims to enrich the Arabic library with an effort that contributes to strengthening the grammatical heritage through the legacy of Al-Karmani. One of the most important results is that the guidance of the deviant readings is stronger in the industry than the guidance of the famous ones, and also the deviant readings are a linguistic effect that must be preserved; because they give a true and documented image of the linguistic reality of the Arabic language, and that Al-Karmani mentioned in his book “Shawadh Al-Qira’at” several deviant readings without guiding them. These readings contained several grammatical methods, including: engagement, interrogation, conjunction, and condition. The researcher's role is to direct these readings grammatically by using books on interpretation, readings, grammar, and morphology.
