The dissertation aimed to revive one of the important morphological commentaries in Yemeni scholarly heritage, namely the book Al-Fawa\u2019id Al-Wafiyah bi-Hall Ma\u2018ani Al-Shafiyah<\/em> by Imam Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Samawi, known as Ibn Haraywah. The researcher described the work as one of the most prominent commentaries on Al-Shafiyah<\/em> in Arabic morphology, despite the fact that the book survived only in a single manuscript copy that nearly disappeared along with much of Yemen\u2019s scholarly heritage.<\/p>\n

The study yielded several key findings summarized as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The study relied on two principal methodologies: the descriptive-analytical approach, which focused on presenting, analyzing, and discussing morphological issues, and the method of scholarly critical editing through text verification, annotation, source tracing, and manuscript comparison, despite the reliance on a unique surviving copy.<\/li>\n
  • The research addressed a broad range of morphological topics, including verbs, nouns, verbal nouns, derivatives, nisbah forms, plurals, diminutives, as well as issues of patterns, analogy, and transmitted usage, while emphasizing Al-Samawi\u2019s methodology in presenting and debating scholarly opinions.<\/li>\n
  • The researcher demonstrated that Al-Fawa\u2019id Al-Wafiyah<\/em> represents an important link in the history of morphological scholarship in Yemen during the thirteenth Hijri century, and that its critical edition contributes to reviving a scholarly text that remained obscure for decades.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In light of these findings, the researcher recommended the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Giving greater attention to Yemeni manuscripts in Arabic linguistic sciences through preservation and scholarly editing, given their significance as an authentic extension of the Arab and Islamic intellectual heritage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The dissertation defense was attended by a number of academics, researchers, and specialists, students, colleagues, and the researcher\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
