Comparison of the Syntax of al-Mehi of al-Ajrumiyah with the Syntax of his Contemporary Al-Kafrawi

Abstract

The first syntax of the al-Ajrumiyah, as far as we know, is the syntax of al-Waqqad Zain al-Din Khalid bin Abdullah al-Azhari, who died in 905 AH, and the syntax of ajramiyah still preoccupies many to this day.

This research is a comparison between the syntax of Al-Mehi, who died in 1204 AH, and his contemporary, Al-Kafrawi, who died in 1202 AH, both of whom were students and sheikhs of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif in that period.

The comparison will reveal to us the similarities and aspects of disagreement between the two syntaxes, through the study of the book “The Bedouin Gift in Al-Ajrumiyah syntax by Al-Mihi” and the book “Explanation of Al-Kafrawi on Al-Ajrumiyah ". It makes for the parsing of al-Ajrumiyah a special section before starting to explain the chapters of al-Ajrumiyah, and therefore the research will compare between the parsing of al-Mehi and the parsing of al-Kafrawi, without considering the explanation of al - Kafrawi on ajramiyah except when necessary.

The research will follow the descriptive analytical approach to make a comparison between the two works, but rather between the syntax, and through this comparison we can identify the style of that era in syntax, and the grammatical terms used in syntax at the time.

The research reached results, the most important of which is that the two syntaxes are almost identical, because of course they follow rooted and complex grammatical rules over the centuries. It is these aspects that distinguish one work from the other.

The research will contain an introduction - this is it - and a preface that introduces the al-Ajrumiyah, its explanations, syntax, and Didactic poem, and the importance of syntax, all in a brief. And one section of two requirements, the first requirement presents the similarities between the two syntaxes, and the second requirement proves the points of difference between the two syntaxes without repetition, and the research will write the grammatical issues contained in the two syntaxes, by referring to the oldest sources and references for those who want more.

Finally, the research presents the results it reached, and establishes the sources and references in a table at the end of the research, God willing.
