Al-muqaddimah Al-ajurrumiyyah [on the Science of Arabic Grammar]

The Chapter on the MAF‘ŪL BIHĪ

It is an Ism that is Manṣūb (denotating) that on which the action occurs, like when you say:

ضربتُزيدا ً                           (I hitZayd )

ركبتُ الفرسَ                             (I rodethe horse )

It is of two types: Ḍāhir and Muđmar.

The Ḍāhir has already been mentioned.

The Muđmar is two groups: Muttaṣil (attached personal pronouns) and Munfaṣil (detached personal pronouns).

The Muttaṣil is twelve (in number), and they are:
