Translation

The book “Al-Ittiba’” by Al-Suyuti is a linguist’s book that examines the phenomenon of “Al-Itti’ab” in the Arabic language, which is when a word is followed by another word according to its weight or narration for emphasis and satisfaction, such as their saying “thirsty, thirsty.” The book begins with the definition of following, quoting Ibn Faris and Abu Ubaid, then discusses the difference between following and tandem, and mentions examples and evidence from the words of the Arabs and the Prophet’s hadith, while stating the opinions of scholars on this linguistic phenomenon.
