Abstract

The movement between the femininity and the masculinity of the verbs is a notable example of the differences between the seven reciters of the Quran, which occurred due to the lack of a dot in the Ottomani Mushaf. This type of difference is seen as a repeated pattern in the recitations of the seven reciters, and its syntactic origin is the permission to mention and feminize the verb due to the virtual femininity or being mukassar plural of the subject. In addition, sometimes the source of the dispute is the possibility of referring to the verb literally feminine or masculine in the context of the verse. The present article, while examining several examples of the movement between femininity and masculinity of verbs in the recitation of the seven reciters, reveals the reflection of syntactic teachings in the recitations of the Quran and reveals the relative tendency of Hamza and Kisai to the masculine form of the verb - unlike the other five reciters. Considering the historical influence of the recitation of Abdullah Ibn Mas’oud in the city of Kufa and his recommendation to recite the Quran with masculinity in the moving between Ta and Ya, it is probable that Hamza and Kisai were influenced by the pioneer of reciting the Kufis
