Abstract

Praise be to God, who taught by the pen, taught man what he did not know, and prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad and upon his good and pure family and his noble companions.The research dealt with the controversial issues in the book Tabaqat al-Shafi’i al-Kubra by Taj al-Din al-Sobki, as this book is considered one of the important books in the field of translations, and it amounts to (10) parts, and these parts contain a large number of translations of the narrators, who are scholars of the Shafi’i school. The biography of these scholars, and by talking about them, he mentions and discusses some grammatical issues.As for the approach that I relied on, I present the words of Sobki, then I elaborate on the issue, so I mention the words of the grammarians, and discuss that, and many grammatical investigations were absent, because I did not find a word for Sobki in them. The nature of the research necessitated that I divide it into an introduction, five demands, and a conclusion accompanied by the sources and references that I relied on in my thesis. The first requirement came under the title: Al-Sobky’s opinion on Al-Muthanna’s rulingThe second requirement: Al-Sobki’s response to Al-Farra’ in the second position after the verb (thought).And the fourth requirement: I do exclamationFinally, the fifth requirement: (not) and its negation with (except)The conclusion came with the most important findings, then the sources.In conclusion, I hope that this message has achieved its intended purpose. If I am right, then that is the grace of God, and if I am wrong, then it is from myself. Perfection belongs to God alone, for He is sufficient for me, and to Him I repent.
