Singularities of “Hafs” from the Seven Readers According to “El-Chatibia” Rhetoric, Grammar, morphological, Phonetic Study

Abstract

The reader according to the narration of Hafs to Imam Asim notes that it is unique from the rest of the seven recitations in many quranic words, some of which are due to rhetoric, others refer to grammar, others refer to phonological issues such as replacement, diacritics, consonants increase and decrease.

According to my statistics - after gathering similar cases - these distinctive words reached thirty-eight 38 singularities, ten of which (10) relate to rhetoric, fourteen (14) related to grammar, and fourteen (14) related to morphology, sound and performance issues. So this article came to study these singularities linguistically, indicating the rhetorical, grammatical and phonological advantages of these singularities and practically emphasizing that the difference in readings is rather a difference in diversity and enrichment and not a difference in contrast, and to demonstrate linguistic features, rhetorical aspects and grammatical directives for each singularity, with reference mostly to public reading, explaining  it to realize the distinction of Hafs separately from them.
