The Patterns of Active Participles, Passive Participles, and the Adjectives Resembling Them

أَبْنِيَةُ أَسْمَاءِ الْفَاعِلِينَ وَالْمَفْعُولِينَ وَالصِّفَاتِ الْمُشَبَّهَةِ بِهَا

Verses 457–466 · chapter 35 of 78

This chapter gives the patterns of the active participle (ism al-fāʿil) from triliteral verbs, and the adjectival patterns (faʿil, afʿal, faʿlān, faʿl, faʿīl, faʿal) used for intransitive faʿila and for faʿula verbs. It then shows how active and passive participles are formed from verbs of more than three letters on the model of the imperfect. It closes with the regular passive-participle pattern mafʿūl for triliterals and the heard substitute faʿīl.

The vowelled text is read as it is pronounced, as Ibn Jinnī says scansion must be: doubled letters count twice, tanwīn adds an n, long vowels lengthen, the connecting alif drops inside the line, the article's l merges into a sun letter, and the last vowel of a line is drawn out. The syllables, long (–) and short (∪), are then fitted to each metre's feet with the common licences (zihāfāt) and line-endings. A poem has one metre: the one that fits most of its verses.

    Form the active participle on the pattern fāʿil when it comes from a three-letter verb [of the pattern faʿala] like ghadhā [‘to flow’ → ghādhin; likewise ḍaraba → ḍārib, dhahaba → dhāhib].

    Ibn ʿAqīl, OpenITI line 5003 · vol. 3, p. 133 ↗

    فإن كان الفعل على وزن فعل بكسر العين فإما أن يكون متعديا أو لازما فإن كان متعديا فقياسه أيضا أن يأتي اسم فاعله على فاعل نحو ركب فهو راكب وعلم فهو عالم وإن كان لازما أو كان الثلاثي على فعل بضم العين فلا يقال في اسم الفاعل منهما فاعل إلا سماعا وهذا هو المراد بقوله

    It [the pattern fāʿil] is rare in faʿultu [verbs on faʿula] and in faʿila when it is intransitive [transitive faʿila regularly gives fāʿil: rakiba → rākib]; rather, the regular pattern of [intransitive faʿila] is faʿil [e.g. fariḥa → fariḥ ‘glad’].

    Afʿal is rare in it [faʿula, e.g. khaṭuba → akhṭab ‘reddish-dusky’], and so is faʿal [e.g. baṭula → baṭal ‘hero’]. A verb of the pattern faʿala sometimes makes do with a form other than fāʿil [e.g. shāba → shayb ‘grey-haired’, ṭāba → ṭayyib ‘good’, ʿaffa → ʿafīf ‘chaste’].

    Ibn ʿAqīl on verse 466Arabic

    ينوب فعيل عن مفعول في الدلالة على معناه نحو مررت برجل جريح وامرأة جريح وفتاة كحيل وفتى كحيل وامرأة قتيل ورجل قتيل فناب جريح وكحيل وقتيل عن مجروح ومكحول ومقتول

    Ibn ʿAqīl, OpenITI line 5041 · vol. 3, p. 137 ↗

    ولا ينقاس ذلك في شيء بل يقتصر فيه على السماع وهذا معنى قوله

    وناب نقلا عنه ذو فعيل …

    وزعم ابن المصنف أن نيابة فعيل عن مفعول كثيرة وليست مقيسة بالإجماع وفي دعواه الإجماع على ذلك نظر فقد قال والده في التسهيل في باب اسم الفاعل عند ذكره نيابة فعيل عن مفعول وليس مقيسا خلافا لبعضهم وقال في شرحه وزعم بعضهم أنه مقيس في كل فعل ليس له فعيل بمعنى فاعل كجريح فإن كان للفعل فعيل بمعنى فاعل لم يتب قياسا كعليم وقال في باب التذكير والتأنيث وصوغ فعيل بمعنى مفعول على كثرته غير مقيس فجزم بأصح القولين كما جزم به هنا وهذا لا يقتضي نفي الخلاف

    وقد يعتذر عن ابن المصنف بأنه ادعى الإجماع على أن فعيلا لا ينوب عن مفعول يعني نيابة مطلقة أي من كل فعل وهو كذلك بناء على ما ذكره والده في شرح التسهيل من أن القائل بقياسه يخصه بالفعل الذي ليس له فعيل بمعنى فاعل

    ونبه المصنف بقوله نحو فتاة أو فتى كحيل على أن فعيلاا بمعنى مفعول يستوى فيه المذكر والمؤنث وستأتي هذه المسألة مبينة في باب التأنيث إن شاء الله تعالى

    وزعم المصنف في التسهيل أن فعيلا ينوب عن مفعول في الدلالة على معناه لا في العمل فعلى هذا لا تقول مررت برجل جريح عبده فترفع عبد بجريح وقد صرح غيره بجواز هذه المسألة
