إماطة اللثام عن أدلّة معرفة الصّحابة الكرام نقط الإعجام وقت تدوين المصحف الإمام

The research aims to reveal the textual, logical, and material evidence proving that the honorable Companions knew about the diacritical points (nuqat al-i'jam) at the time of the compilation of the Mus’haf Imam. The study is divided into two sections. The first section provides evidence for the ancient use of diacritical points in Arabic writing in general, while the second section specifically focuses on the evidence that the honorable Companions knew about these points, along with an explanation of why they chose not to use them despite their knowledge. The research concludes with several key findings, most notably: 1. The honorable Companions were fully aware of diacritical points and methods of Arabic writing at the time of the compilation of the Mus’haf Imam; 2. Diacritical points originated with the Arabic letter and were an intrinsic part of it from the beginning, not an innovation imposed by later circumstances and requirements; 3. The non-use, neglect, or omission of diacritical points does not, in any way, mean they did not exist; 4. Inscriptions, coins, and papyri confirm the use of diacritical points at the time of the compilation of the Mus’haf Imam; 5. There were reasons, justifications, and motivations that allowed the honorable Companions to omit diacritical points, including to allow the script of the Holy Quran to accommodate the various readings. Among the key recommendations are: Conducting a historical and documentary study to trace the diacritical marks (nuqat al-i'rab), similar to this research.
