Ibrahim bin Sulayman al-Buaymi is a Saudi scholar of Arabic grammar and an academic who served as a professor of Arabic language at the Islamic University of Madinah.
Background and Academic Career
Al-Buaymi belongs to the Buaymi family of Buraidah, which traces its lineage to Sulayman bin Muhammad bin Abd Allah bin al-Humaydi. He pursued an academic career in Arabic linguistics and taught in the Faculty of Arabic Language at the Islamic University of Madinah, where he served as an assistant professor and later as a professor.
Scholarly Contribution
Al-Buaymi's scholarship concentrates on Arabic syntax, morphology, and Qur'anic grammatical analysis. In his research on classical grammatical theory, he examined doctrines of the early grammatical schools, contrasting Kufan syntactic formulations with the Basran framework and observing the structural strength of Basran rules. He authored al-Mansub ala al-Taqrib, an analytical treatise examining the Kufan concept of the accusative governed by demonstratives and clarifying its distinction from circumstantial qualifiers (hal). He also wrote al-Mansub ala Naz al-Khafid fi al-Quran, in which he gathered and analyzed instances of the accusative case resulting from prepositional omission across Qur'anic verses and variant readings (qira'at), prioritizing scriptural evidence over poetic citations. In manuscript editing, he edited and published Sharh al-Tasrif, a grammatical commentary by Ibn al-Thamanini.
