Al-Kāfiya

Ibn al-Ḥājib · d. 646 AH Advanced Planned

The grammar a student reaches after Hidāyat al-Naḥw, and the one the commentaries argue over. From here grammar stops being rules and becomes a discipline with disputes of its own.

The text

Public domain — read it at a library

Al-Maktaba al-Shāmila — al-Kāfiya fī al-Naḥw

Ibn al-Ḥājib died in 646 AH.

In English — ours

Not yet. We translate rather than reprint, so the English for this book begins the day its first lesson is taught.

We link rather than mirror. The classical texts are out of copyright, but the modern printed editions of them are not, so we point you at a library that already carries one instead of putting somebody else’s edition on our server. What we do host is our own work.

Lessons

Not written yet. This book is on the map so you can see where it sits in the course, not because it is ready to study here.
