Mispronunciation In The Arabic Language – A Brief Fa’idah from Shaikh Fawwaz al-Mad’khali

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
فهذا الحافظ ابن عدي؛ إمام في علل الحديث والجرح والتعديل، صاحب كتاب “الكامل في الضعفاء “، قد استدرك عليه بعض أهل العلم اللحن في اللغة العربية.
وقال الحافظ أبو عبد الرحمن النسائي ـ رحمه الله ـ أنه لا يعاب اللحن على المحدثين، وذكر أمثلة في ذلك من أئمة في هذا الفن، من بينهم إسماعيل بن أبي خالد يلحن وسفيان ومالك بن أنس وغيرهم من المحدثين. [الخطيب في الكفاية (ج2ص555)].
كثير من العلماء لا تخلو دروسهم وكتبهم من أخطاء لغوية أو إملائية، حتى أن محققي الكتب ينبهون عليها في الحواشي، لكنها لا تُسقط قدرهم؛ لأن هذه الأخطاء من طبيعة البشر، والكمال لله وحده، ولم يجعلها أهل السنة والجماعة يوماً سبباً للطعن في أهليتهم العلمية.
Al-Hafidh Ibn Adi — is an Imam in ilal al-ḥadith and al jarh wat-tadeel [the science or subject regarding hidden defects in hadith and the science of criticism and commendation of narrators], and the author of Al-Kaamil fee Ad-Ḍu’afaa; however, some of the people of knowledge have pointed out and corrected mispronunciations of his in the Arabic language.
Al-Hafidh Abu Abdir Rahman An-Nasaa’ee, may Allah have mercy on him, stated that the Muhadditheen are not faulted for mispronunciation (linguistic errors). He mentioned examples of that regarding the Imams in this field of hadith, from among them Ismaa’eel ibn Abee Khalid, who had mispronunciations, Sufyan, Malik, and other than them among the Muhadditheen. [Al-Khaṭīb, al-Kifāyah, vol. 2, p. 555]
Many scholars’ lessons and books are not free from linguistic or dictation (spelling errors). Even the verifiers of books give notification of them in the footnotes, but this does not topple their status (i.e. the scholars), because indeed these mistakes are from human nature. Perfection belongs to Allah alone, and Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah – at any time (or at any point) have not made them (i.e. these mistakes) a reason (or cause) for speaking ill against their competence in knowledge of the Shariah.
