Notes & justification

﴿وَٱلضُّحَىٰ، سَجَىٰ، قَلَىٰ، ٱلْأُولَىٰ﴾: «وَٱلضُّحَىٰ، سَجَىٰ، قَلَىٰ، ٱلْأُولَىٰ، ...»: فواصل سورة الضحى أمالها كلها الكسائي وقللها كلها ورش والبصري وأمالها كلها حمزة وخلف العاشر إلا «سَجَىٰ» ففتحاها:

The rhyming āyah-endings of Sūrat aḍ-Ḍuḥā (all of them alif maqṣūrah): al-Kisāʾī gives every one of them imālah; Warsh and Abū ʿAmr (al-Baṣrī, both his rāwīs) give every one taqlīl; Ḥamzah and Khalaf al-ʿĀshir give them all imālah except سَجَىٰ, which they read with fatḥ. The couplets: Ḥamzah and al-Kisāʾī incline the alifs that go back to a yāʾ; al-Kisāʾī alone inclines أَحْيَا after a wāw, تَلَاهَا, طَحَاهَا, سَجَىٰ and دَحَاهَا (words of wāw origin), while ضُحَاهَا, ٱلضُّحَىٰ, ٱلرِّبَا and ٱلْقُوَىٰ they both incline; and among what they incline are the āyah-endings of eleven sūrahs — Ṭāhā, an-Najm, ash-Shams, al-Aʿlā, al-Layl, aḍ-Ḍuḥā, al-ʿAlaq, an-Nāziʿāt and the rest named — which is why every fāṣilah here but سَجَىٰ carries Ḥamzah's imālah.

(ش)al-Shāṭibiyyah
وَحَمْزَةُ مِنْهُمْ وَالْكِسَائِيُّ بَعْدَهُأَمَالَا ذَوَاتِ الْيَاءِ حَيْثُ تَأَصَّلَا

Ḥamzah among them, and al-Kisāʾī after him, both incline the words of yāʾ origin wherever that origin is established.

(ش)al-Shāṭibiyyah
وَلَكِنَّ أَحْيَا عَنْهُمَا بَعْدَ وَاوِهِوَفِيمَا سِوَاهُ لِلْكِسَائِيِّ مُيِّلَا

But aḥyā, after its wāw, is from both of them; in the other occurrences it is inclined for al-Kisāʾī alone.

(ش)al-Shāṭibiyyah
وَحَرْفُ تَلَاهَا مَعْ طَحَاهَا وَفِي سَجَىوَحَرْفُ دَحَاهَا وَهْيَ بِالْوَاوِ تُبْتَلَى

And the word talāhā with ṭaḥāhā, and in sajā, and the word daḥāhā — these are of wāw origin (and inclined for al-Kisāʾī).

(ش)al-Shāṭibiyyah
وَأَمَّا ضُحَاهَا وَالضُّحَى وَالرِّبَا مَعَ الْــقُوَى فَأَمَالَاهَا وَبِالْوَاوِ تُخْتَلَى

As for ḍuḥāhā, aḍ-ḍuḥā, ar-ribā and al-quwā, both inclined them, though they are of wāw origin.

(ش)al-Shāṭibiyyah
وَمِمَّا أَمَالَاهُ أَوَاخِرُ آيِ مَابِطَهَ وَآيِ النَّجْمِ كَيْ تَتَعَدَّلَا

Among what both inclined are the endings of the āyāt in Ṭāhā and an-Najm, so that the endings are kept alike.

(ش)al-Shāṭibiyyah
وَفِي الشَّمْسِ وَالْأَعْلَى وَفِي اللَّيْلِ وَالضُّحَىوَفِي اقْرَأْ وَفِي وَالنَّازِعَاتِ تَمَيَّلَا

And in ash-Shams, al-Aʿlā, al-Layl and aḍ-Ḍuḥā, in Iqraʾ and in wa-n-Nāziʿāt, they are inclined.
