Abstract EN

This research tackled two important items in say of almighty, " And we divided them into twelve descendants nations" (Surat Alaraf : 160).

- The first item: The disagreement of the highlight to countable noun according to its feminization and its masculinization.

In this case the highlight came (descendants) as a masculine while its countable noun came as a feminine while the grammatical rule differs from that.

- Secondly: The highlight of the number twelve came as plural and not as a singular.

- The researcher asks if the word (descendants) is a highlight for the number twelve or not, so this research aims to know the different opinions of different experts in this field.

- Some experts said that the word (descendants) is a highlight for the word twelve and some of them said that is also a highlight for the word twelve but they interpreted it as a singular feminine.

- The opinions of most grammarians for the word (descendants) is that : It is an adjective for that word.

- The study respects all these opinions, but it agrees with the opinions of most experts who say: it goes with grammatical rule and with the speech of the Arabs.
