أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

Notes & justification

﴿كَيْفَ فَعَلَ﴾: انظر مج١: ١٤.

Two identical letters meeting across two words must be merged, the first into the second — al-Sūsī's idghām kabīr. See vol. 1, p. 14.

al-Sūsī ʿan Abī ʿAmrالسوسي
(ش)al-Shāṭibiyyah
وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ مِثْلَيْنِ فِي كِلْمَتَيْهِمَافَلَا بُدَّ مِنْ إِدْغَامِ مَا كَانَ أَوَّلَا

Whatever two identical letters stand in two separate words — the first of them must be merged.

﴿فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ﴾: انظر مج١: ٤٥.

The lām merges into a following rāʾ (though not the reverse) when both are fatḥah-bearing after a sākin — hence faʿal rabbuka. See vol. 1, p. 45.

al-Sūsī ʿan Abī ʿAmrالسوسي
(ش)al-Shāṭibiyyah
وَفِي اللَّامِ رَاءٌ وَهْيَ فِي الرَّا وَأُظْهِرَاإِذَا انْفَتَحَا بَعْدَ الْمُسَكَّنِ مُنْزَلَا

The rāʾ merges into the lām and it into the rāʾ, but both are kept clear when the two open vowels follow a quiesced letter — save as transmitted.

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةࣲ مِّن سِجِّيلࣲ

Notes & justification

﴿تَرْمِيهِم﴾:

The Durrah's rule for Yaʿqūb: every hāʾ of the plural pronoun preceded by a sākin yāʾ takes ḍammah — tarmīhum, ʿalayhum, ilayhum, ladayhum — save the excepted cases.

Yaʿqūbيعقوب
(د)al-Durrah al-Muḍiyyah
وَبِالسِّينِ طِبْ وَاكْسِرْ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَيْهِمُلَدَيْهِمْ فَتًى وَالضَّمُّ فِي الْهَاءِ حُلَّلَا

…and the ḍammah on the hāʾ is made lawful…

(د)al-Durrah al-Muḍiyyah
عَنِ الْيَاءِ إِنْ تَسْكُنْ سِوَى الْفَرْدِ وَاضْمُمِ انْتَزُلْ طَابَ إِلَّا مَنْ يُوَلِّهِمْ فَلَا

…after a yāʾ, whenever it quiesces, except the single case — so give the ḍammah when the yāʾ falls away, for Yaʿqūb — except man yuwallihim.
