أبو يعلى محمد بن أبي زرعة الباهلي و ما بقي من تراثه

Abstract EN

This research paper introduces an obscure grammarian who was one of the most prominent students of Abu Uthman al-Mazini (d.

AH 248), namely Abu Yala Muhammad b.

Abi Zar'a al-Bahili (d.

AH 257) and is divided into four sections.

The first is a study of his life and writings; the second incorporates his remaining writings and studies them; the third takes up his thoughts on grammar; and the fourth and final section deals with the problem of differentiating between him and other individuals who share the same patronymic or title.

Among the most important results of this study are that Abu Yala followed the Basran school, that he was influential in the preservation of some of al-Mazini's work, that he was exact in transmitting those narratives, and that he was trustworthy in his narratives from others.
