Grammarians' Opinions on a Single Issue in Al-Mughni Al-Labib (The Accusative Case as a Model)

Abstract

Grammar is considered one of the most important Arabic sciences that contributed to preserving the Arabic language from linguistic errors or mistakes. Many schools of thought emerged in grammar, known as grammatical schools, such as the Basran, Kufic, Baghdadi, Andalusian schools, among others. The study presented the differences among grammarians on certain grammatical issues related to the accusative case, such as objects, adverbials, specification, and the predicate of (kana), The Basrans adhered to analogy, while the Kufis were more flexible in some aspects, and Ibn Hisham combined these views. The book Al-Mughni Al-Labib is considered one of the most important grammatical works and became a key reference for researchers. Ibn Hisham devoted great attention to the accusative case, mentioned the grammarians' opinions on it, and addressed the differences between the Basran and the Kufic schools on these issues.
