‫المتماثالن والمتقاربان والمتجانسان‬

‫والمتباعدان‬

‫‪Reeyul Quloob‬‬
The meeting of two letters is of three different
ways:
• 1. Meeting of the two in pronunciation and writing, in that there is no
separation between them, such as the two ‫ با‬in ‫ض ُكم‬ ُ ۡ‫َو ََل يَ ۡغت َب بع‬
and the two ‫ َلم‬in . ‫َهل ل َك‬
• 2. Meeting of the two in writing only, such as in : . ‫ِإنهُۥ ُه َو‬
Here the two ‫ ها‬are next to each other, but ‫ مد الصلة‬prevents them from being
pronounced together, by the way we read‫حفص عن عاصم‬
• 3. Meeting of the two in pronunciation only, as in .
In this case the alif separates the two ‫ نون‬from each other, but since the alif is
not pronounced, the two ‫ نون‬meet in pronunciation.

THE TWO LIKE EACH OTHER –)‫(متماثلين‬

•Its Definition‫متماثلين‬
•They are the two letters that are the same
in characteristic and in articulation point..
Or The two letters are united in name and
writing. This means they are the exact same
letters next to each other.
Reeyul Quloob
‫متماثلين صغير‬
• ‫ الصغير‬: first letter is a Sakin letter and second letter is Mutaharrik

• Examples :

• Its Rule in small )‫(صغير‬: Required Merging. Except in two occasions

Reeyul Quloob
There are two exceptions to this rule:

• The First: If the first of ‫ متماثلين‬is a medd letter then the rule is ‫متماثلين‬
‫إظهار صغير‬.
Example :

• The Second Exception: When the first letter is ‫ها سكت‬, and this only occurs
once between verses 28, and 29 in surah Al-Haaqqah:
In this case there are two allowable options when joining these two aayaat
together.

• The first: Making the ‫ ها‬clear with a light stop with no breath during the
stop (this is called a ‫)ها السكت‬.
• The second, merging the ‫ ها السكت‬with the ‫ ها‬that follows it).

 ‫متماثلين كبير‬
• ‫ الكبير‬: first letter is a Mutaharrik letter and second letter is also
Mutaharrik
• Example :

• Its ruling : ‫ إظهار‬except in 2 cases.

Reeyul Quloob
• The first exception is the word in surah Yusuf aayah 11 . The noon
mushaddadah in this word represents an Idgham. This word
originally was ‫ تَأ ْ َمنُنَا‬. This word is read with either one of two possible
correct ways:
• 1. Merging of the two letter ‫ نون‬with a dhammah of the two lips
during the ghunnah, but no sound of a dhammah. In Arabic, this is
called ‫إدغام مع اإلشمام‬
• 2. Saying the two ‫ نون‬clearly and stealing part of the vowel on the
first noon, which is a dhammah. This means the reader only gives the
dhammah 2/3 of its full timing. This is called: ‫إظهار مع اإلختالس‬

Reeyul Quloob
Ruling is ‫إدغام متماثلين كبير‬
• These words all have ‫إدغام‬. These four words that have idgaam are all
written with the idghaam incorporated into the written word, but are
explained here for further understanding.

Reeyul Quloob
 ‫متماثالن مطلق‬
• ‫ المطلق‬: first letter is a Mutaharrik letter and second letter is Saakin

• Examples :

• It is called ‫ مطلق‬due to its lack of conformity to ‫ صغير‬and ‫ كبير‬.

•
Its rule: Required ‫ إظهار‬There are no exceptions to this rule.

Reeyul Quloob
‫المتجانسان‬
‫صغير ‪ ,‬كبير ‪ ,‬مطلق‬

‫‪Reeyul Quloob‬‬
• Its Definition: They are the two letters that have the same
articulation point, but differ in characteristics. They can be in one
word as in:

• or within two words, as in:

Reeyul Quloob
‫متجانسان صغير‬
• ‫ الصغير‬: first letter is a Sakin letter and second letter is Mutaharrik

• Its ruling : ‫ إظهار‬except in 8 places

• The merging in this case is not absolute as is in the case
of Mutamathilayn, instead it occurs in special letters. This means
that not every time there are two letters of the same articulation
point but different characteristics, the first one saakin, and the
second voweled, there is an Idgham . The following letters merge into
the letters below them:

• ‫ ط‬in to ‫ ت‬. This occurs 4 times in the Quran and this is an ‫إدغام ناقص‬
(incomplete merging) , it is incomplete in that the characteristic
Itbaaq of the letter ‫ ط‬remains.
