Abstract
This research tackles the issue of the grammatical discrepancy in terms of declarative grammatical styles as being manifested in the book entitled: “Awdhah Al-Masalik” for the Alfiyyah of Ibn Malik by Ibn Hisham Al-Ansari, in order to reveal the truth of this discrepancy according to a scientific approach based on collecting its themes depicted in the book. Then, the study analyzes it according to the foundational principles approved by the grammarians; in other words, it discusses the opponent views of grammarians in issues that fall under the grammatical style as being clarified and referred to by Ibn Hisham in “Awdhah Al-Masalik”. The study shows that Ibn Hisham was not only restricted to identifying the points of disagreement in the grammatical styles, but also discussing that from different perspectives and illustrating his viewpoints therein, and so did the book reviewer, Sheikh Muhammad Muhyi al-Din Abd al-Hamid in terms of some of the study aspects. Also, it manifests the dispute forms, which ranges between grammatical schools in general and the grammarians themselves. It shows that Ibn Hisham did not tend to a specific school of thought, as he sometimes agrees with the Basrans in what they went to, and sometimes he disagrees with them to the opinion of the Kufans.
