Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al-muqaddimah Al-ajurrumiyyah [on the Science of Arabic Grammar] The Chapter on the MUBTADA’ and the KHABAR The Mubtada’ is an Ism that is Marfū‘ and is stripped of verbally expressed ‘Awāmil[^50]. The Khabar is an Ism that is Marfū‘ and is predicated to it (i.e.
the Mubtada’, so as to give information about it) like when you say: زيدقائم (Zaydis standing ) الزيدانقلئمان (The two Zaydsare standing ) الزيدونقائمون [The Zayds (pl.)are standing ] and structures similar to that. The Mubtada’ is (of) two types: Ḍāhir and Muđmar. The Ḍāhir has (already) been mentioned. The Muđmar is twelve and they are: أنا [I (masc. fem.)] نحن [We (masc./fem. dual/pl.)] أنتَ [You (masc. sing.)] أنتِ [You (fem. sing.)] أنتُما [You (masc./fem. dual)] أنتُمْ [You (masc.
pl.)] أنتُنَّ [You (fem. pl.)] هو He هي She هما [They (masc. dual)] همْ [They (masc. pl.)] هنَّ [They (fem. pl.)] Like when you say: أنا قائم [I (masc.) am standing] نحن قائمون [We (masc. pl.) are standing] The Khabar is (of) two types: Mufrad (single word) and Ghayr al-Mufrad (not a single word i.e. compound).
The Mufrad is like: زيدقائم (Zaydis standing ) The Ghayr al-Mufrad is four things: the Jarr wa Majrūr the Ẓarf the Fi‘l with its Fā‘il the Mubtada’ with its Khabar زيدفي الدار (Zaydis in the house ) زيد عندك (Zaydis with you ) زيدقام أبوه (Zayd,his father is standing ) زيدجاريتُه ذاهبةٌ (Zayd,his maid is going ) Previous Next
