Abstract

Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon our Master Muhammad Al-Amin and upon his family and companions and those who follow him in righteousness until the Day of Judgment and after :
(What) and its types are among the topics that have concerned students of the Arabic language in general, and students of pre-Islamic poetry in particular. The most famous of its nine types (What) are the interrogative, the connected, the conditional, the infinitive, the accusative, the negative, the superfluous (ma), the kafa, and the ambiguous (What). In the first section, the letter (ma) if it is a noun, then it is (interrogative, conditional, described indefinite article, and non-described indefinite article), but if it is a letter, then it is (negative, infinitive, superfluous, kafa, superfluous, insufficient, and relative) and we derived its material from grammar books in general, He wrote tools in particular, and in the second section we studied the types of (what) in the Mu’allaqah Muro’ al-Qays and their meanings, then I concluded all of that with the most important results.
