Public and private according to Andalusian commentators, a balancing study

Abstract

The Holy Qur’an was revealed in a clear Arabic tongue, and in the Arabic language there are general formulas that include the group of the addressees, and they contain special words.  And in the Holy Qur’an there are words under this way, in which there are formulas that benefit the general and are intended to be general, and words that benefit the specific and are intended to be specific, and words that benefit the general but are intended to be specific, and words that benefit the specific but are intended to be general, and the evidence clarifies this and removes confusion, and remains after that  Words that are subject to dispute among scholars that affect the elicitation of some rulings.  This shows its place in the science of “the general and the specific” and its impact on deriving rulings.
