Mechanisms of argumentation in the book Al-Faraj Ba'd Al-Shidda, by Judge Abu Ali Al - Tanukhi (T: 384 AH)

Abstract

This research aims to examine the book Al-Faraj Ba'd Al-Shidda from an argumentative perspective, searching for what falls under the declared value in its title of apparent and implicit argumentative mechanisms that guide the discourse with its argumentative direction that the author intended, starting from the area of crisis or before it to the relief or after it - the general result - which established the structure of the news in this huge book, while preserving the specificity of each news, and this specificity is based on the difference in the argumentative component on which the special context of each news is built, as the book was created for an argumentative purpose that aims to convince with abstract Islamic values that it argued with and for at the same time, and Al-Tanukhi recalled the reference news governed by the authenticity of the pronunciation, and did not exclude at the same time the miraculous news, He seeks to persuade and did not neglect to entertain because of his knowledge of its influential value. The study came out with the most important results, the book was written to persuade with a human concept and a general human experience that confronts humans - hardship and relief -; therefore, its compiler and author took care of the mechanisms of argumentation in the structure of the main title and internal titles (chapters and news), documenting the news of the text with chains of transmission that raise the impact of the news and elevate its argumentative value in a society where the chain of transmission has a great influential value in its collective memory - religiously and traditionally - then with what was required of sacred texts and news whose contexts varied; because the author relied on the law of argumentative comprehensiveness that suits the multiplicity of details of this human experience that does not stop at one context of life. He tried and did not fail to present narrative and sermon arguments within extended temporal and spatial contexts, relying on what is known as the argument of establishing reality through special cases; and through values as an important argumentative starting point.
