سُورَةُ البينة
al-Bayyinah— The Clear Proof
Notes & justification
When pausing on مُطَهَّرَة al-Kisāʾī has two wajhs, fatḥ and imālah of the feminine hāʾ and the letter before it. The rāʾ before the hāʾ is one of the four letters (alif, kāf, hāʾ, rāʾ) whose imālah depends on what precedes them: it is inclined after a quiescent yāʾ or a kasrah, but after a fatḥah or ḍammah — as here, where the rāʾ follows the fatḥah of the doubled hāʾ — the imālah is the weaker wajh, so both fatḥ and imālah are transmitted. The four couplets give the whole rule: al-Kisāʾī inclines the feminine hāʾ at a pause except after the ten letters gathered in ḥaqqun ḍighāṭu ʿaṣin khaẓā; the four letters of akhar are inclined after a quiescent yāʾ or a kasrah (an intervening quiescent letter being no barrier) and only weakly after fatḥah or ḍammah; and everything other than the alif is inclined, according to some.
In the feminine hāʾ at a pause, and in the letter before it, al-Kisāʾī inclines — except after ten letters, so that it be balanced.
They are gathered in ḥaqqun ḍighāṭu ʿaṣin khaẓā (ḥ q ḍ gh ṭ ʿ ṣ kh ẓ, with alif); and akhar — alif, kāf, hāʾ, rāʾ — is inclined after a quiescent yāʾ,
or after a kasrah, an intervening quiescent letter being no barrier; and after a fatḥah or a ḍammah it weakens — the imālah of those four letters is then the lesser wajh.
As in ʿibrah, miʾah, wijhah and laykah; and some of them held that everything except the alif is inclined for al-Kisāʾī.
