Abstract

. ( ) 213 . . . : ( ) . ( ) ( ) . : ( ). . : . : : . . Ibn Qutayba was one of the people who discussed elaborately on Islam. So he wrote many books to prevent some doubts in religion and Holy Quran in particular and in tradition in general.The two books of Ibn Qutayba (Ta'weel Mushkel Al Quran) which means Explanation of some problems in Quran and (Tafseer Qureeb Lil Quran) which means Hlien Explanation of Quran, tackle one subject which is removing the problematic issues and the ambiguity in quran including some vocabularies or some mispronanciation of some words. This is why, another writer called Ibn Mutarif tackled them in a singl book called (Kitab Al Qartayn).After much discussion and researching in the book of Ibn Qutayba, I see that this research may be divided into three main factors and preceded by a preface to those books such as explaining and defining the termitself and tackling the proplematic issues in the Holy Quran.The first facter was dealing with some proofs on which Ibn Qutayba depends in writing those two books. This facter also tackles some verses of the Holy Quran and Arabic poefry and the tradition.While the second one discusses some symatic cases such as the origin of the liguistic term and the symsntic development, the similsrities and the differences. one discusses the linguistic phenomenon, such as the substution of the places and non substution places and the like.I submit this research, hoping that I did my best. Needless to say I did what I can do from my effort and care. If it is good, my thanks are due to the Almighty God, or if not it belongs to me. We beseach God that this research is pure and it is my personal effort.
