Abstract / Summary

Repetition is a linguistic phenomenon known in Arabic in its earliest texts, which reached us as in the Jahili poetry, and the speeches of that covenant and their rhyming, and it is mentioned in the Qur'an, especially in its stories, as well as in the Prophetic Hadith, and afterwards in the words of the Arabs their poetry and prose, It is therefore a phenomenon that deserves to be studied to identify its features, to know its truth, and where it is used. Repetition is only reprehensible if it is dispensable, and the one who is repeated is devoid of any new meaning added to the first, then it is useless language, and this is nothing in the Qur'an, Otherwise, on the contrary, it is desirable, although the lack of words is sometimes a repulsive one of the methods known to Arabs, and is frequently mentioned in their words and in their poems in particular. The recurring story in the Qur'an is contained in each place in a way that distinguishes it from the other, and is formulated in a template other than the template, and one does not tire of repeating it, but renews meanings in his self that he does not find by reading in other places. The story is presented as a summary at a time, then detailed from the beginning. Another time the consequence and the significance of its content are revealed, and then the detail begins, and some time it begins directly without introductions, and another time it is presented as a pulsating live scene that occurs in front of the reader and the listener, with the beauty of the versatility of moving from one position to another, going beyond what is not needed, letting the mind be inspired by the events that have taken place, while following with the verses important events and their details. What are the benefits of repetition in the Qur'an (stories in particular) and Arabic?
