Abstract

This research is concerned with the study of the words denoting animals in the book Gharib Al-Hadith by Abu Obaid (d. 224 AH), which was transmitted by Abu Obaid on the authority of Al-Kisa’i (d. 185 AH), a semantic study, based on the extrapolation of the words narrated from Al-Kisa’i, and then counting and arranging them according to their linguistic roots Alphabetical order, then extracting the honorable hadiths, and the hadiths of the Companions and the Followers (may God be pleased with them) in which these words were mentioned from the hadith books, after that we mentioned the lexical significance of each word from the different dictionaries. We have presented a dictionary of language standards for Ibn Faris (d. 395 AH) on those who preceded him; In order to trace the origins of words and their various derivations, and after completing the lexical significance of each word, we searched for semantic shades to show the impact of the context in determining the significance of the word in use, and strengthen the study by mentioning the noble Qur’anic verses and poetic verses in which these words are mentioned, and we have adopted a descriptive-analytical approach Based on the theory of the semantic field, the number of animal words narrated on the authority of al-Kisai in the book Gharib al-Hadath by Abu Obaid reached sixteen.
