Allah revealed the Holy Qur’an in the Arabic language, and the Arabs became famous for their interest in their language and their high valuation for it, after the revelation of the Qur’an, scholars began to study the Arabic language more systematically and developed classifications for its arts. There is no doubt that the holy Qur’an enriched this language in all aspects, meanwhile, the Arabs are unable to reach the Quran’s eloquence. So, people found the need to explain and clarify some ambiguous meanings in the Holy Qur’an due to the conquests and the expansion of Islam as well as the mingling of the Arabic tongue with other languages. Thus, the so-called science of strangeness of the Qur’an arose. Abu Hayyan Al-Andalusi was among the linguists who were interested in this science and left a significant legacy, he was famous for his deep knowledge of the language along with the sciences of interpretation, Hadith, and literature. So, he wrote in this regard a book called “Tuhfat Al-Arib, of what is in the Qur’an is strange”, in which Abu Hayyan explained the strange words mentioned in the Holy Qur’an through the use of lexical meaning, showing the importance of the linguistic impact in his explanation. This research aims to reveal the linguistic approach used by Abu Hayyan and to explain its role and impact in explaining strange meanings in the Holy Qur’an
أنزل الله تعالى القرآن الكريم باللغة العربية، وقد اشتهر العرب باهتمامهم بلغتهم وتقديسهم لها، بعد نزول القرآن بدأ العلماء بدراسة اللغة العربية بشكل منظم أكثر وبدأوا بوضع التصانيف لفنونها، ولا شك في أن القرآن الكريم جاء ليغني هذه اللغة من جميع النواحي ويعجز العرب من ناحية البيان، ومع الفتوحات واتساع رقعة الإسلام واختلاط اللسان العربي بغيره، وجد الناس الحاجة لتفسير وتوضيح بعض المعاني المبهمة في القرآن الكريم، وهكذا نشأ ما يسمى بغريب القرآن، ومن اللغويين الذين اهتموا بهذا العلم وتركوا أثراً فيه كان أبو حيان الأندلسي الذي اشتهر بسعة علمه في اللغة إلى جانب علوم التفسير والحديث والأدب، وألف في هذا المجال كتاباً سماه "تحفة الاريب بما في القرآن من غريب"، حيث قام أبو حيان في هذا الكتاب بشرح الألفاظ الغريبة المذكورة في القرآن الكريم من خلال استخدام الدلالة المعجمية محاولا إظهار أهمية الأثر اللغوي في شرحه و يهدف هذا البحث إلى الكشف عن المنهج اللغوي الذي استخدمه أبو حيان وبيان دوره وتأثيره في شرح المعاني الغريبة في القران الكريم.
