Rules of Using the Superlative Noun in Grammar and Prophetic Hadith A Morpho-semantic Study

Abstract

This study aims to explore a number of prophetic hadiths with evident superlative noun formulation rules, so far under-researched in morphology and syntax textbooks, so as to better rectify morpho-syntactic rules and assume the likelihood of some previously established differing opinions. The study is organized into an introduction, and two sections. The introduction reviews the importance of citing he prophetic Hadith for language study and drawing conclusions about grammar rules.  The first section addresses the issue of superlative nouns in view of inference criterion and perception. The second section deals with the conditions governing superlative nouns formulation. The study revealed that the superlative noun form is one of the important teaching tools in the Prophet’s Hadiths and biography. Despite syntacticians' interest in Arabic evidence to better formulate grammatical rules, there were no abundant Haiths in grammar books on grounds of difficulty combining huge language evidence with those of Prophetic traditions. Many Hadiths had evident non- tripartite root superlative noun form, suggesting its permissibility.   The study concludes with highlighting the importance citing more Prophetic Hadiths and making the desired inferences regarding better morpho-syntactic rules formulation.
