Asserting the Most Correct Opinion According to Ibn Malik in the Book: (Sabk al-Manzoum wa Fakk al-Makhtoum) – A Foundational Study

Abstract

This research aims to study the grammatical issues that Ibn Malik asserted as correct by explicitly stating "the most correct" (al-aṣaḥ) in his book Sabk al-Manzoum wa Fakk al-Makhtoum. I have specifically chosen the term al-aṣaḥ over other expressions used by Ibn Malik in this book because it is the strongest term used by grammarians to assert and determine their opinions. This assertion is based on a thorough inductive analysis of Arabic speech, as well as reliance on Quranic and poetic evidence and the arguments supporting their views. The study also examines these issues by tracing the differences in grammarians' opinions on them
