al-I‘rab al-Muhit min Tafsir al-Bahr al-Muhit (The Comprehensive Parsing from the Exegesis of the Encompassing Ocean) is a contemporary grammatical reference by Yasin Jasim al-Muhaimid (d. 1439 AH / 2018 CE) that extracts and isolates the Quranic syntactic analysis (i‘rab) contained within the classical commentary al-Bahr al-Muhit by Abu Hayyan al-Gharnati (d. 745 AH) .
Source and Scope
The book is an abridgment and extraction focusing specifically on the grammatical analysis of Quranic verses embedded in Abu Hayyan's extensive eight-volume tafsir . al-Bahr al-Muhit is celebrated in Islamic scholarship for its dense concentration on Arabic syntax, morphology, variant readings (qira'at), and disputes among classical grammarians, to the extent that it often resembles a dedicated treatise on grammar and rhetoric alongside traditional exegesis . By isolating these syntactic discussions from the broader exegetical narratives, theological points, and general commentary, al-Muhaimid's work serves as a focused compilation of Abu Hayyan's grammatical determinations on the Quranic text .
