السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته,
Below is a list of grammar rules that I’ve extracted from a work called النَحْوُ الْوَاضِحُ by Shaykhs Ali al-Jarim and Mustafa Ameen. I haven’t studied this book with any teachers, but I found out about it when I was studying another book that they wrote, ُالبَلاغَةُ الوَاضِحَة.
Every section in the book brings examples and then mentions the rules derived from them. I thought that it would be nice just to have a “cheat sheet” of rules I can go back to quickly review without having to flip through 400 pages of examples and discussion. I’ve tried to keep it to just the rules, adding examples only as necessary, because the expectation is that you’ve already studied it in detail and just need to recap things. If you don’t already know them, then head on to the Arabic grammar series and start from there.
Note: The numbers at the end of the headings are the page numbers where they are found in the original PDF. The rules are as mentioned by the original authors, unless stated otherwise. Also, the numbering of the rules is slightly off because some numerals were skipped in the original work. Lastly, I highly suggest that you not use this to actually cheat on an exam (I don’t think there’s any realistic way to fit 20+ pages into that small a space anyhow…)
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته,
Welcome to the end, that is, the end of our Arabic grammar series based on al-Ajurroomiyyah (but don’t worry, I’ve got of plenty of other stuff planned out to write on). We’ve looked at all the situations that a noun can be in raf’ or nasb. Today, we’ll look at when it can be in jarr and we’ll get it all done in one final segment إن شاء الله.
By the way, the word جَرّ means “to drag something”, which makes sense because kasrah is written using a dragging stroke below the letter.
And away we go…
الْمَخْفُوْضَاتُ ثَلاثَةُ أنْوَاعٍ: مَخْفُوْضٌ بِالْحَرْفِ، وَمَخْفُوْضٌ بِالإضافَةِ، وَتابِعٌ لِلْمَخْفُوْضِ
The khafdh-ized words are three: khafdh-ized using particles, khafdh-ized using idhafah and a follower of a khafdh-ized word
They are three kinds of jarr-ized words (the Ajurroomiyyah uses khafdh instead of jarr, but they are the same thing). Each will be explained in detail further below: [Read more…] about 3 types of nouns in جَرّ

The مَفْعُول مَعَهُ (object of accompaniment) is the 11th of the 15 types of nouns in نَصْب and tells us who/what an action was done along with. First, its definition from al-Ajurroomiyyah:
وَهُوَ: الاسْمُ المَنْصُوْبُ الَّذِيْ يُذْكَرُ لِبَيانِ مَنْ فُعِلَ مَعَهُ الْفِعْلُ، نَحْوُ قَوْلِكَ: جاءَ الأمِيْرُ وَالْجَيْشَ وَاسْتَوى الْماءُ وَالخَشَبَةَ
It (the object of accompaniment) is the nasb-ized noun that is mentioned to clarify who the action was done along with, like your saying جاءَ الأمِيْرُ وَالْجَيْشَ (“The leader came with the army”) and اسْتَوى الْماءُ وَالخَشَبَةَ (“the water became level along with the wood”)
The object of accompaniment is :
Now, the noun that comes after the و as a مفعُول معه can be one of two types: [Read more…] about الْمَفْعُوْلُ مَعَهُ (The object of accompaniment)
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته,
The مَفَوْل مِنْ أجْلِهِ (also called مَفْعُوْل لَهُ by grammarians) is the 10th of the 15 types of nouns in نَصْب and tells why an action was done. We might call it the “object of reason”, for lack of better words. First, its definition:
وَهُوَ: الاِسْمُ، الْمَنْصُوْبُ، الَّذِيْ يُذْكَرُ بَياناً لِسَبَبِ وُقُوْعِ الفِعْلِ، نَحْوُ قَوْلِكَ: “قامَ زَيْدٌ إجْلالاً لِعَمْرٍو” وَقَصَدْتُكَ ابْتِغاءَ مَعْرُوْفِكَ
It (the reason for the action) is the nasb-ized ism that is mentioned to clarify the cause of the action’s occurrence, like your saying قامَ زَيْدٌ إجْلالاً لِعَمْرٍو (“Zayd stood out of respect for ‘Amr”) and قَصَدْتُكَ ابْتِغاءَ مَعْرُوْفِكَ (“I set out to you desiring your goodness”)
The object of reason must be a noun and it has to meet 5 conditions: [Read more…] about الْمَفْعُوْل مِنْ أجْلِهِ (The cause for the action)

The 9th of the 15 types of nouns in نَصْب, is the مُنادى (vocative). In the language, a مُنادى (munaada) is someone you want to approach you in the general sense. In grammar, it’s when you want someone to come nearer and you use يا or one of its siblings to call them. Other members of the يا family are
المُنادى خَمْسَةُ أنْوَاعٍ: المُفْرَدُ العَلَمُ، وَالنَّكِرَةُ الْمَقصُوْدَةُ، وَالنَّكِرَةُ غَيْرُ الْمَقْصُوْدَةِ، وَالْمُضافُ، وَالشَّبِيْهُ بِالْمُضافِ
The vocative is 5 kinds, the مُفْرَدُ عَلَم (single word that is a proper name), the intended indefinite noun, the unintended indefinite noun, the mudhaaf, and الشَبِيْهُ بِالْمُضاف (what resembles a mudhaaf).
So, the vocative can be one of 5 things ( We already talked about what the مُفْرَد and the شَبِيْه بِالْمُضاف are when we did the noun negated by لا, so they should be familiar): [Read more…] about الْمُنَادَى (The vocative)
