Abstract

The book Masa’il Ibn al-Azraq was based on the hypothesis that what was mentioned in the Qur’an of terms that are not used in the unified language come from the Arabic dialects, as evidenced by Ibn al-Azraq’s question to Ibn Abbas: Do the Arabs know that?
The first linguists and interpreters relied on hearing and transmission in proving the language and its meanings and what differed in the language, and what was reported about the dialects, so we find Ibn Abbas has supported his saying with poetic evidence from the Arabs; Because poetry is one of the most important criteria for the validity of the pronunciation and the accuracy of attributing the saying to classical Arabic and clarifying its meaning with the poetic context that may give an indication of the linguistic and stylistic development in the use of the term.
Although explicit references to tribes are very few in matters, the references, even if they are not explicit, are intended to be used satirically in the Arab tribes.
Accordingly, the research will be divided into two divisions: the first is what Ibn Abbas stated about the dialects, and the second is that the poet mentions his tribe, in order to refer to the language indirectly.
As for the way the research proceeds, it is by defining what Ibn Abbas attributed to the Arabs, and searching in the texts of the language, both ancient and recent, for a text that supports what Ibn Abbas went to, or what contradicts it, or what is unique to it.
