The historical debate between Sebawayh and Al-Kasai, because of which Sebwayh died !!! (The Spring Matter)
To read the topic translated into Arabic From Here
Zabnour, who killed Sebwayh
Al-Kasaei Binoculars for Sibawayh
In light of the intense competition between the Basrian sculptors and the Kufians, which never took a benign course, especially during the reign of Harun al-Rashid, Sibawayh was invited to Baghdad, the Islamic Caliphate at the time, to hold a clear linguistic debate as a leader of the visual school and between Al-Kasaei, the leader of the Kufic school, it was said that the debate came on the pretext of Yahya. Bin Khaled Al-Baramki, Minister of Harun Al-Rashid, and it has been said in other accounts that it occurred in the presence of Al-Rasheed, as it was mentioned in Imbah the narrators and others.
Sibawayh accepted the invitation because the winner in the debate received a lucrative financial reward, and the crowd gathered for that meeting, watching who would prevail.
When he arrived at Al-Baramaki Majlis al-Fura and Abu al-Hassan al-Ahmar, a student of al-Kasai, were waiting for him, and he provoked him by asking him about a number of issues and all that he answered about one of them. Red shows in this man a calf alone, so after Sibawayh I will not talk to you until your friend comes, so it was clear, according to the references, that it was an attempt to provoke him and take him out of phase.
Then Al-Kasaei attended and discussed with Sibawayh several issues towards him, and they showed their linguistic skill in the discussion and strengthened the argument, until he stopped at the most prominent incident in the debate that was famous for the questioning of Al-Zanboori, where he asked Al-Kasaei Sibawayh, I thought that a scorpion sting more than the hornet, so if it is a mother, then it is it Then Sebwayh replied, so if it is and it is not permissible to accuse the accusation, then Al-Kasaei said, “O Sibawayh,” he said.
It is a beginner and a white piece of information and not in the Arabic language, so if it is it, then the correct opinion was of Siboyah and the Qur’an supported his opinion about it, but neither side accepted the submission to the other opinion, whether it was right or wrong. At that time, Al-Baramki said, “You disagreed and you are the president of your two countries. A group of Al-Qahhah, who spoke the sound language naturally, agreed to that, and when he stood before them, the Minister of Harun al-Rashid asked them about the authenticity of the saying, so they returned the hand of Al-Kasaei, so Sibawi asked them to confirm this and pronounce the sentence, but their Sunnah did not obey that and evaded the speech, and in this reference Until Sebawi was right, however, the result was decided in favor of Al-Kasaei, perhaps that was a matter of Beit Bilil.
Sibawayh came out of the debate in disgrace, and Al-Kasaei had asked the Minister Al-Barmaki to give Sibawayh a financial reward for his participation, so he gave them more of the dirhams, and perhaps this position has doubled the effect on himself, and whoever follows the biography of this grammatical scientist will realize that he does not accept his mistake sometimes even when he is wrong. Why do we think when he is right and wrongly missed.
It was said that after the fact that he refused to return to Basra, and there was nothing in front of him except to return to Shiraz, his first home, to preserve what was left of him of the prestige and position that he could see for himself, and when the news flew to Basra, his middle pupil and fellow students decided to meet and say goodbye to him on his way back before Leave to bid him farewell and sympathize.
Thus, the usual practice was reported that Al-Nadhar bin Shamil, a student of Al-Khalil bin Ahmed Al-Farahidi, when he decided to leave Basra to Khurasan Shiites, about three thousand people, between a modernist, grammatical, linguist, and informative, and it is said that when Al-Akhfash Al-Awsat met his teacher Sibawayh, he asked his permission to publish the book (The Book to Sibawayh) ).
Finally, Sibawayh passed away and died in agony and oppression shortly after his arrival to his village in which he was born. It was said in a number of sources that he died at the age of 180 AH and was at the age of thirty-two, other sources said that he had reached the thirty-eight years of age when he died.
Whatever his precise age estimate, he died as a young man who left behind a tremendous legacy in grammar.
The issue of Al-Zanboori went to where it drove its journey, and the Sebawi School of Basra is the rest, the language is its strength, influence and importance in the strength of its children, their influence and their importance on this planet. It has been passed down from generations to this day, it has imposed itself on the United Nations Authority from among the six global languages, and there is no doubt that the Holy Quran and the noble Prophetic hadiths stand firmly behind this interest.
As for our days, the days of crisis and division, we see its role being dwarfed among other nations, and no one was aware of it or its genius, and then what remained of the incident, interests are everyone who wants to give themselves and interests want to impose themselves and they are above all.
Sibawayh must sacrifice it or Bahay, and al-Kasaei must triumph, as his followers tried to destabilize Sibawayh's self-confidence, and the initiative with his hand. The question may have two faces on the weakest of faith, and the Arab delegations are prepared in advance to testify, and the truth is not the conflict between Al-Kasaei and Sibawayh, but between the Kufic and the Basrien.
And his conclusion is the truthful saying with Sebawiyyah and the victory was for Al-Kisaei, the Noble Qur’an is the best witness and evidence.
Abu Al-Abbas said their saying, so if it is the possibility that if he comes to him, i.e., you find him and you see him, and you find and see two things set up, and he will have news with him, then the Arabs have set this way, it is permissible to erect them timidly.
