A masterpiece for loved ones and a light-heartedness for friends in the explanation of "Malhat Al-I'rab and Sinhat Al-Adab." Imam, jurist, judge, Jamal al-Din Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Omar bin Mubarak Al-Hadrami Al-Shafi’i, known as Bahraq (869-930 AH). Printed and published with verification for the first time on several handwritten copies. Introduction to the book: It is a poem by the grammarian and linguist Abu Muhammad Al-Qasim bin Ali Al-Hariri, organizing the sciences of grammar in a simple, precise, and amusing poem, consisting of over three hundred seventy verses, titled "Malhat Al-I'rab and Sinhat Al-Adab." This was in response to the request of Abu Al-Fath ibn Al-Talmi, to compose a concise grammar poem that beginners could memorize. Al-Hariri did not stop at just composing it, but also provided a brief, accurate explanation, and the best explanation for speech is the speaker himself. God Almighty blessed this "Malhat" to spread among people, and scholars accepted it, adding explanations, comments, annotations, and detailed clarifications. Among them: Badr al-Din ibn Al-Nadhim (686 AH), Ibn Al-Saigh (720 AH) in what he called "Al-Lamha," Al-Jalal Al-Suyuti (911 AH), Al-Jamal Al-Fakihi (972 AH), Ibn Dawsin (1006 AH), and many others — may God have mercy on them all. One of the most prominent who explained this poem with a distinguished, concise, meticulous, refined, and polished commentary is Imam, scholar Muhammad bin Omar, known as Bahraq, the scholar of Hadramout in his time. He reviewed the "explanation of the poet Al-Hariri" on "Malhat," summarized it, refined it, incorporated it into his book, and saw fit to include many benefits and important additions that enriched the book, gathered what was scattered, linked similar parts, and connected the ends of the poem with a firm link. The commentator, Bahraq, may Allah have mercy on him, limited his explanation in this commentary to solving the phrases of the poem, providing examples and notes, commenting on them, explaining unfamiliar words and clarifying them, and elucidating the difficult parts of the grammar of some words. All of this is written in simple language, close to brevity and conciseness, far from verbosity and exaggeration, accessible to minds, clear to both specialists and the general public, so that this book, in my right — as its author said — serves as an enlightenment for the beginner student and a reminder for the seeking and guided. By God's grace, the achievement of this book in Dar Al-Minhaj, relying on valuable handwritten copies, especially the copy written during the time of the commentator Bahraq, may Allah accept it and benefit from it, and grant ongoing success. He is the best disposer of affairs and capable of that. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
