26. Bab Naql -1- (226 - 229) :: Fi Rehaab As-Syathibiyyah :: Sdr. Mochamad Ihsan Ufiq

Summary

This script delves into the recitation rules of Imam Warsy, focusing on the handling of Hamzah (glottal stop) in Quranic pronunciation. It explains how to adjust the harakat (vowel marks) when two words are adjacent, particularly when one ends with a sukun and the other starts with Hamzah. The script explores the different recitation methods such as Tahqik, Naqal, and Sakta, and discusses the variations in reading styles among scholars like Imam Hamzah, Imam Khalaf, and Imam Hafz. Key examples, rules, and specific practices for both wasal (connected) and waqf (stopped) are examined, offering an in-depth understanding of Quranic phonetic rules.

Takeaways

• 😀 Imam Asy-Syathibi explains the rules of reading the Quran according to the Warsh method, especially regarding the movement of the Hamzah in conjunction with certain words.
• 😀 When two words are adjacent, and the second word starts with a Hamzah with any vowel (fatha, kasra, or damma), the vowel is transferred to the final consonant of the first word, and the Hamzah is deleted.
• 😀 Example: The words 'man amana' become 'mana' by transferring the vowel from the Hamzah to the 'n'.
• 😀 If a word ends with a tanwin (nunation), the same rule applies: The vowel is transferred to the tanwin, and the Hamzah is dropped.
• 😀 Imam Asy-Syathibi also specifies exceptions where the final consonant is a Mim of the plural form (e.g., 'Qulā man' should be read without the Hamzah due to the Warsh method).
• 😀 If the last consonant is a 'mad' letter, such as in 'qolu amanna,' the Hamzah should be treated according to the 'Mad Jaiz Munfasil' rule, extending it for six harakats.
• 😀 The Surah 'Al-Ankabut' begins with 'Alif Lam Mim,' where the letter Mim is extended for six harakats due to its original sukun before the following Hamzah.
• 😀 Imam Warsh reads this extension of Mim as six harakats, but it can also be read for just two harakats, depending on the specific conditions in the text.
• 😀 Imam Hamzah has two ways of reading when stopping on a sakin (silent letter) connected to a Hamzah: either through a connected reading (naqal) or with a short pause (sakta).
• 😀 Imam Khalaf's method involves pausing (sakta) when stopping at sakin mafsul (connected silence), while Imam Warsh uses naqal, a style of connected reading.

Q & A

What is the main topic of the lecture in the provided transcript?

The main topic of the lecture revolves around the different methods of reciting the Qur'an, specifically focusing on the rules of 'naqal' (transfer of vowel marks) and the variations in the recitation methods of Imam Warsh, Imam Khalaf, and other scholars.

What does the term 'naqal' refer to in the context of Qur'anic recitation?

'Naqal' refers to the transfer of vowel marks (harakat) in the recitation of the Qur'an, where vowel marks from one letter are moved to another letter in specific circumstances during the recitation.

How does Imam Warsh handle the recitation of two adjacent words with a hamzah (glottal stop) in his method?

Imam Warsh instructs that when two words with a hamzah (glottal stop) appear next to each other, the vowel mark on the hamzah is transferred to the following letter, and the hamzah itself is dropped.

What happens when a 'mim jamak' (plural 'mim') appears in the first word and is followed by a hamzah?

In the case of a 'mim jamak' followed by a hamzah, Imam Warsh does not read it with a transfer of the vowel mark. Instead, the recitation is done with a 'Silah' (connection) and a six-harakat extension.

What is the significance of the example 'Alif Lam Mim' in this lecture?

The example 'Alif Lam Mim' illustrates a case where the letter 'mim' is extended for six harakats in recitation due to its original sukun (silence) on the letter 'mim' in the script. This allows for a smooth connection before the following word.

What does the term 'tahqiq' refer to in the context of the recitation methods?

'Tahqiq' refers to the precise, careful pronunciation of the letters and words in their proper form, without skipping or merging sounds, which is particularly emphasized in certain recitation methods like that of Imam Hafs.

How does Imam Khalaf’s recitation method differ from Imam Warsh’s regarding 'sakin mafsul' (isolated stop)?

Imam Khalaf's method includes a recitation with 'sakta' (a brief pause) when encountering 'sakin mafsul', whereas Imam Warsh’s method focuses on connecting the letters and removing the hamzah, with no pause in similar situations.

What does the term 'sakta' mean, and how is it applied in Imam Khalaf’s recitation?

'Sakta' refers to a brief pause that is applied during the recitation when there is a stop at the end of a word. Imam Khalaf uses 'sakta' when reciting certain words, either when stopping (wakaf) or when continuing (wasl) the recitation.

What are the differences between the 'naqal' and 'sakta' methods?

The 'naqal' method involves transferring the vowel marks from one letter to another, while 'sakta' refers to a brief pause during the recitation, particularly before continuing with the next word. These methods are used by different scholars depending on the context of the recitation.

How does Imam Hamzah's recitation vary in terms of 'sakin mafsul' (isolated stop) for different situations?

Imam Hamzah has two recitation methods for 'sakin mafsul': one with 'naqal' (vowel transfer) and the other with 'sakta' (pause). This variation depends on whether the recitation is continuing (wasl) or stopping (wakaf).
