Abstract

The research focuses on foregrounding the vocabulary in Arabic grammar, explaining its meaning and some of its various rules. It looks with more details into articles of offer and exhortation since they are among the utterances that always come in the foreground. They affect speech and change its content. Thus, they have the full right to be foregrounded. These utterances appear in Sahih al-Bukhari in forty-three places in the speech of the Prophet ,The articles for offer and exhortation are dealt with through Sahih al-Bukhari. We studied these utterances syntactically and semantically to reveal the forms of their occurrences in their sentence and identify their different meanings through context. The study falls into two chapters preceded by a preface and followed by a summary. The preface addresses the concept of foregrounding in Arabic grammar and some of its rules. Chapter One is entitled “The Concept of Offer and Exhortation and Proof for their Foregrounding”. Chapter Two is entitled “Articles of Offer and Exhortation”. This Chapter defines each of these articles, to show the types of sentences foregrounded by each article in the holy Hadiths and reveal their different meanings through the context of those sentences.
