al-Hadi Sharh Tayyibat al-Nashr fi al-Qiraat al-Ashr (The Guide: Commentary on Tayyibat al-Nashr in the Ten Readings) is a commentary by the Egyptian scholar and specialist in Qur'anic readings Muhammad Salim Muhaysin (d. 1422 AH / 2001 CE) on the didactic poem Tayyibat al-Nashr fi al-Qiraat al-Ashr by Ibn al-Jazari (d. 833 AH / 1429 CE) .
Scope and Methodology
The work provides a line-by-line exposition of Ibn al-Jazari's thousand-verse rajaz poem, which codifies the ten major transmissions of Qur'anic readings (al-Qirāʾāt al-ʿAshr al-Kubrā) . Muhaysin's commentary expands beyond standard textual analysis to explore the underlying causes and rationales of the variants, as indicated by its expanded title al-Hādī Sharḥ Ṭayyibat al-Nashr fī al-Qirāʾāt al-ʿAshr wa-al-Kashf ʿan ʿIlal al-Qirāʾāt wa-Tawjīhihā (The Guide: Commentary on Tayyibat al-Nashr in the Ten Readings and the Uncovering and Explanation of the Reasons for the Variant Readings) .
In his exposition, Muhaysin decodes the poetic shorthand and mnemonics used in the metrical text to identify the respective authorities and transmission paths for each reading . He couples the technical attribution of variants with their grammatical, morphological, and semantic justifications (tawjīh), elucidating how differing vocalizations align with Arabic linguistic rules and the consonantal skeletal text of the Uthmanic codex .
Structure and Publication
The commentary follows the thematic layout of Ibn al-Jazari's poem, structured across multiple volumes:
- Volume 1: Covers the foundational principles of recitation (al-uṣūl), concluding with the section on the recitation methods of isolating single readings versus combining multiple readings (bāb madhāhibihim fī ifrād al-qirāʾāt wa-jamʿihā) .
- Volume 2: Begins the surah-by-surah detailed variants (farsh al-ḥurūf), starting with Surat al-Fatihah and ending at the conclusion of Surat al-Isra .
- Volume 3: Resumes the surah-by-surah commentary beginning with Surat al-Kahf .
The work was published in a first edition by Dar al-Jil in Beirut in 1417 AH / 1997 CE .
