Abstract
This research aims to explain the phonetic importance of the phenomenon of stopping by studying it in three of the commentaries on Nahj al-Balagha, which are: (Minhaj al-Bara’ah fi Sharh Nahj al-Balagha by Qutb al-Din al-Rawandi, Gardens of Truths fi Sharh Nahj al-Balagha by al-Bayhaqi al-Kaydari, and Sharh Nahj al-Balagha by Ibn Abi al-Hadid al-Mu’tazili) and explaining its aspects. The similarities and differences between the commentators’ treatment of this phonetic phenomenon lead to an important conclusion, which is how commentators and researchers deal with the term pause in the explanations of Nahj al-Balagha.
