مصادر و شواهد السحيمي (ت : 1178ه)‎ في كتابه : الاعتصام بالعصام

Abstract EN

This paper aims at examining and analyzing the sources of As-Sahmi's book A-I'itisamu bil 'Isaam as well as the evidence he used.

This book was a footnote on A-Isaam Al-Isfarayini's (d.

951 AH) commentary on As-Samarqandi's (d.

888 AH) book Ar-Risalat ul-Isti'ariya.

The importance of Al-I'itisamu bil I'itisaam lies in its topic, namely Arabic rhetoric and mainly the metaphorical language with its diverse uses and types.

The paper points out the main reasons behind As-Sahmi's authoring of this book relying on the book's introduction where the author hints at this.

Among the main reasons were explaining the sophisticated riddle-like meanings and correcting certain archaic expressions in the text because the author was of Persian origin.

The author then mentions As-Sahmi's sources and the number they were cited, classifying them into: Rhetorical, linguistic and syntactic as well as others related to Qur'anic recitation and Hadith (Tradition).
