Abstract

The science of naḥw or Arabic grammar discusses the relationship between the words of a sentence, with the aim of teaching Arabic speakers how to speak, read and write correctly, so that there is no problem in understanding and being understood. Muslim grammarians, from the late 1st century AH until now, have produced valuable works on the Arabic language and its grammar that perhaps have no equal in any other language, although they may have gone to extremes in this regard. Undoubtedly, when an experienced researcher carefully examines works such as "I'rab Al-Alfiyah of Ibn Malik", they will observe that the authors of these books have made mistakes in the analysis of some of the manṣūbāt (accusative nouns/objects); because identifying the role of marfū'āt (nominative nouns), majrūrāt (genitive nouns) and majzūmāt (jussive verbs) is relatively easy, but determining the role of some manṣūbāt is sometimes difficult. The authors of the article attempt to critique and analyze these errors by relying on the fifth chapter of the book "Mughnī al-Labīb". This article aims, through a critical analytical descriptive method and relying on Ibn Hisham's ten critiques of the mu'ribūn in chapter five of Mughnī al-Labīb, to identify the mistakes of the mu'ribūn and work towards correcting them.
