الملخص EN

The study aims to explain the art of interrogation in the introduction of Abu HayyÉn Al-TauhÊdÊ’s Al-ImtaÑ wa Al-MuÉnasah.

The study focuses descriptively and analytically on the narrative of Abu HayyÉn in the introductory part of his book, on the story about the reason of his writing to enable the reader to grasp the real reason behind the writing of this famous work.

The direct reason that makes him write this voluminous work is a request - in the form of interrogating- made by his friend Abu Al-wafa’ Al-Muhandis to write on the night conversation between him and the Minister Ibnu SaÑdÉn (Ibnu Al-ÉÑridh).

Abu HayyÉn initially gave in to the request of the mean police.

He, later on, admitted his fault.

The study concludes with the following; the reason for writing the book is the request in interrogative form an investigation of the police instructed by AbË WafÉ’ Al-Muhandis to the Abu HayyÉn.

This had been stated by Abu HayyÉn at the beginning of his book that to a certain extent affected the meaning of “ImtÉÑ as enjoyment and “MuÉnasah” as intimacy.
