Definition Al-sal-m

Al-sal-m according to Kitab at-Ta'rifat (Al-Jurjani)

According to morphologists, it is that whose original letters, which correspond to the fa, ain, and lam, are free from weak letters, hamza, and gemination. According to grammarians, it is that whose end does not have a weak letter, whether it is elsewhere or not, and whether it is original or added. Thus, nasara is sound according to both groups, ramaya is not sound according to both of them, baya'a is not sound according to morphologists and is sound according to grammarians, and we will encounter istaqya which is sound according to morphologists and not sound according to grammarians.

Al-sal-m according to Dustur al-'Ulama (Al-Ahmadnagari)

According to morphologists: that whose original letters, which correspond to the fa, ain, and lam, are free from weak letters, hamza, and gemination. According to grammarians: that the end of which does not have any of the weak letters, whether it is elsewhere or not, and whether it is original or added. Thus, nasara is sound according to both groups, ramaya is not sound according to both of them, baya'a is not sound according to morphologists and is sound according to grammarians, and istaqya is sound according to morphologists and not sound according to grammarians. Therefore, the relationship between the two terminologies is a partial reciprocal inclusion.
