Abstract

Because of the importance of the generality in determining the correct legal ruling on the verse, it was therefore necessary to know the generality and its rules from the books of interpretation, especially if it is by the great interpreters who are famous for investigating and examining general and specific issues in the Holy Qur’an, and among these interpreters is Imam Abu Hayyan, and he relies on Research on the inductive and analytical method. The study contained a translation of Abu Hayyan and a definition of generality, and an explanation of the divisions and rules of generality, the reasons for disagreement in it, formulas of generality, and the impact of the Ash’arite doctrine on it. The study revealed his rules of generality, which are (not if you do an action if it benefits the generality. The original is The generality remains in its generality, and what matters is the generality of the word, not the reason, and the generality in the one is not reached except with a verbal context), and the reasons for the difference are: (Is the generality of the word or the reason what matters, the difference in the type of alif and lam, and the difference in abrogation or not), and the wording Generality, which is: (words that indicate generality by their linguistic significance, the definite article with the alif and the lam that are general, the adverbial ma, the indefinite article in the context of negation or prohibition, and relative and conditional nouns), and among the recommendations: collecting and studying the places in which Abu Hayyan favored generality and comparing them with other commentators.
