Tohfat alahbab Beltaif Al-Arrab by Abdullah bin Ali Sweidan Al-Damliji(d.1234 AH)

Abstract

The grammar lesson in the Arabic language is still a subject of interest and study, due to its importance and role, by which we understand the intent and meanings. The manuscript is a unique copy according to my research, and it is in a copyist handwriting and not in the author’s handwriting. The nature of the research necessitated that it be divided into two sections, the first is the study, and the second is the investigation The first centered on the study of the author and the related translation, his writings, his scientific status, the statement of the manuscript’s copy, documenting his name and its attribution to its owner, its importance and scientific value, grammatical evidence, describing the manuscript and the copyist’s approach, and my methodology in investigation. The manuscript contains many spelling and grammatical errors, which I corrected as required by the correctness of the context. I drew attention to the spelling errors in the study, and I corrected these errors in the investigation. Because the main task in the investigation is to bring out the text in the correct way, and the second topic was devoted to investigation, In this manuscript, the author collected a large amount of syntax in a succinct manner. He tried to understand all its parts. It was a valuable manuscript worthy of study and care. The investigation - as I see it - was complete, not long, boring, nor disgraceful short. It deserves an explanation and clarification because it was mentioned very briefly, including the controversial issues, as well as the graduation of the texts and their attribution. His field and place it in the hands of the students of knowledge. The wheel of knowledge is still spinning. God made it a useful work.
