شَرْحُ الْبَلَاغَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ.

Explanation of rhetoric from the Arabic language book.

وَهُمْ مِنَ الرُّوَّادِ فِي التَّرْبِيَةِ وَتَعْلِيمِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ بِمِصْرَ الْكِنَانَةِ فِي الْعَصْرِ الْحَدِيثِ،

They are among the pioneers in education and teaching the Arabic language in Egypt, the protected land, in the modern era.

فَقَدْ جَمَعُوا -رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى- فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ خُلَاصَةَ قَوَاعِدِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَالْبَلَاغَةِ وَأُمَّهَاتِ مَسَائِلِهَا بِأَسْهَلِ التَّرَاتِيبِ وَأَوْضَحِ الْأَسَالِيبِ.

They have collected in this book the summary of Arabic language rules, rhetoric, and its main issues in the easiest arrangements and clearest styles.

وَقَدْ سُجِّلَ صَوْتِيًّا مِنْ تِلْكَ الشُّرُوحِ لِلْبَلَاغَةِ شَرْحَانِ:

Two explanations of rhetoric were recorded audio-wise from those explanations.

الْأَوَّلُ كَانَ فِي عَامِ (١٤٠٣هـ) وَهُوَ الْأَشْمَلُ وَالْأَوْسَعُ، وَأَمَّا الثَّانِي وَهُوَ الْأَقَلُّ فَكَانَ عَامَ (١٤١٩هـ).

The first was in the year (1403 AH) and it is the most comprehensive and widest, while the second, which is the least, was in the year (1419 AH).

وَبِنَاءً عَلَى ذَلِكَ اعْتُبِرَ الشَّرْحُ الْأَوَّلُ هُوَ الْأَصْلُ وَأُلْحِقَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْفَوَائِدُ وَالزَّوَائِدُ الْمَوْجُودَةُ فِي الشَّرْحِ الثَّانِي.

Based on that, the first explanation was considered the original, and the benefits and additions found in the second explanation were attached to it.

وَإِنْفَاذًا لِلْقَوَاعِدِ وَالضَّوَابِطِ وَالتَّوْجِيهَاتِ الَّتِي قَرَّرَهَا فَضِيلَةُ شَيْخِنَا رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ لِإِخْرَاجِ تُرَاثِهِ الْعِلْمِيِّ تَمَّ إِعْدَادُ مَا سُجِّلَ صَوْتِيًّا مِنَ الشَّرْحَيْنِ وَتَجْهِيزُهُ لِلطِّبَاعَةِ وَالنَّشْرِ.

In implementation of the rules, regulations, and directives that our virtuous sheikh, may God have mercy on him, decided for the extraction of his scientific heritage, what was recorded audio-wise from the two explanations was prepared and equipped for printing and publishing.

نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَنْفَعَ بِهِ، وَأَنْ يَجْزِيَ فَضِيلَةَ شَيْخِنَا خَيْرَ الْجَزَاءِ، وَيُضَاعِفَ لَهُ الْمَثُوبَةَ وَالْأَجْرَ، وَيُعْلِيَ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي الْمَهْدِيِّينَ، إِنَّهُ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ.

We ask God Almighty to benefit by it, to reward our virtuous sheikh with the best reward, to double for him the recompense and the wage, and to elevate his degree among the guided ones; He is generous and noble.

وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَإِمَامِ الْمُتَّقِينَ، وَسَيِّدِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ، نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ وَالتَّابِعِينَ لَهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ.

May God pray upon, greet, and bless His servant and messenger, the seal of the prophets and leader of the pious, the master of the first and the last, our prophet Muhammad, and upon his family, his companions, and those who follow them in righteousness until the Day of Judgment.

الْقِسْمُ الْعِلْمِيُّ فِي مُؤَسَّسَةِ الشَّيْخِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَالِحِ الْعُثَيْمِينَ الْخَيْرِيَّةِ.
