Vigilance for Content Misconception in Sound Mind Guidance Interpretation of Abi Sa`aud, died 982 Hegira

Abstract

The Quranic expression was distinguished by the eloquence of its structures and the abundance of its meanings; perceiving subtle meanings and solemn purposes without ambiguity. The balance between its composition and the possible alternatives leads us to the strengths of the style and the sublime meaning. The interpreters try to trace the Quranic structures that stand behind each expression. One of them is “the technique of repelling illusion” as the Quranic composition intends to repel the corrupt meaning that may come to mind by means of a linguistic technique. So the noble system comes in a way that prevents this corrupt meaning from being represented in the mind from the first sight.

The eluded meaning: It is a corrupt meaning that may occur in the mind of the recipient at first sight without looking at the clues that reveal the intended meaning. It is a rejected meaning that may not need a synthetic presumption that sometimes prevents it, as we find in many corrupt meanings whose corruption is inferred by verbal and contextual evidences.

     It is noticed that Aba Al-Saud takes a great care in tracing these techniques and their impact on the Quranic structure, so he was one of the interpreters who pay attention to such an angle. Abi Al-Saud brought a set of linguistic means to refute the illusion of meaning through: inversion, repetition, objection, being explicit when it should be implicit and vice versa, restriction, indefinitization, singularization and pluralization.
