سُورَةُ الكوثر
al-Kawthar— Abundance
Notes & justification
Abū Jaʿfar reads shāniyaka with a yāʾ, without hamz. The ground of it is that the root form is shāniʾaka with hamz — from shaniʾtuhu, 'I detested him' — but the hamzah is lightened within the word, and its lightening here is to be made a yāʾ, since a kasrah precedes it; the like of it is made a yāʾ, as in miyar, plural of miʾrah ('enmity'), whose root is miʾar with hamz, then lightened. The rest read shāniʾaka with the hamz, which is the root form. (al-Muwaḍḍiḥ 3: 1405). The note begins at the foot of p. 497 with the Durrah couplets and its prose runs across the top of p. 498.
…and riʾyan — assimilate it, like ruʾyā, in all of it; and change [the hamzah] in yuʾayyid — be liberal — and the like of muʾajjalā.
So too quri'a, ustuhzi'a, nāshiʾatan, riʾā, nubawwiʾu, yubaṭṭiʾu, shāniʾaka and khāsiʾan — [all lightened of their hamzah by Abū Jaʿfar].
A remark printed under the junction table on p. 498: some of the shaykhs preferred not to join the word al-abtaru directly to the wording of the takbīr (Allāhu akbar), by analogy with the four Zahr sūrahs.
