The word "claim" appears in the works of grammarians, indicating the scholar's attitude toward the opinions of those who came before him.Beginning with Sibawayh, the term was used widely in the books of grammarians.Among the grammarians who transmitted those "claims" from Sibawayh was Abu Ĥayyān in his book Irtishāf Ad-Ḍharb; where he stood against the claims of those grammarians.The researcher is impressed by Yûnus Ibn Ĥabīb's "claims".Such "claims" were transmitted by Abu Ĥayyān as they came in Sibawayh's book in places and in other places according to the description of Abu Ĥayyān.Whoever follows the opinions of Yûnus Ibn Ĥabīb, s/he will find that he has individual viewpoints that Sibawayh had a position against.Abu Ĥayyān followed the example of Sibawayh in his book Al-Irtishāf.The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach, and the results were in points, the most prominent of which was that the term "claim" according to Abu Ĥayyān means apparently false or wrong statement; when Sibawayh mentioned Yûnus's claim, the claim was based on Yûnus's sole opinion.Moreover, the meaning and purpose of the term "claim" among the earlier ones might differ from the later ones.As presented in the study, Sibawayh used to cite Yûnus's claim and did not express any objection to it.Most importantly, Sibawayh cited it as if it was an opinion that Yûnus adopted independently or as if it was Yûnus's quotation and transmitted from him.Furthermore, Abu Ĥayyān was not only very concerned with Sibawayh's book but was influenced by it.We find him conveying Sibawayh's text as stated in the book; however, he did not adhere to Yûnus's claims against Sibawayh.
