Linguistic Errors in Albhr Almuheet for Abi Hayan Al-Andulusi (died 745 A.H.)
Abstract
It can be argued that any scientific or epistemological base in various sciences, including Arabic sciences, is hardly devoid of a kind of dispute among scholars, for several reasons, some of which are related to transmission, and some of them are due to reasoning and the understanding obtained by each of them regarding the issue in which they differ.Consequently, this difference varies in its degree and strength, as well as in the number of those who say it, and it may extend to include eras of history, and extend to cover centuries of time and types of sciences.The books of language, grammar and other sciences are full of countless evidence of the faces and forms of these differences. And our research stands at one of the aspects of disagreement among scholars, which is what has been described as delusion, or a mistake in opinions and judgments regarding a section of linguistic issues, and in a section of the aspects of readings and the provisions based on them regarding language. This is in one of the books of Arabic, and a treasure of Its treasures is the book (Al-Bahr al-Muheet fi al-Tafsir) by Abu Hayyan al-Andalusi - may God have mercy on him - as Abu Hayyan stopped at a number of issues, and in places that exceeded eighty places in his great book, observing their places, and describing the rulings of some scholars in them as delusional, or wrong, and he quoted in some of them and the sayings of other scholars who held the same doctrine, and held the same opinion.
