 Quran have added extra grammatical rules with the pre existence Arabic grammar during revelation of Quran

ChatGPT said:

Excellent question — and it touches the heart of classical Arabic and Qur’anic linguistics.

🔹 Short Answer:

The Qur’an did not “add” new grammatical rules to Arabic in the sense of inventing entirely new grammar. However, the Qur’an did:

✅ Use existing Arabic grammar to its fullest and most eloquent capacity

✅ Employ rare, poetic, or elevated forms that were part of pre-Qur’anic Arabic

✅ Influenced the formalization of Arabic grammar after revelation

🔹 Detailed Explanation:

1. Arabic Grammar Preceded the Qur'an

• The Qur’an was revealed in the 7th century CE.

• Arabic, especially in its oral Bedouin form (ʿarabiyyah), was already a rich and grammatically complex language spoken in poetry and prose.

• The Arabs had no formal grammar books, but they used grammar naturally and correctly through speech and poetry.

---

2. Qur’an Used the Most Elevated Arabic (Fusha al-ʿUlya)

• Allah says in Qur’an:

  بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ (26:195)
  “In a clear Arabic tongue”

• It employed styles that were:

  • Extremely eloquent

  • Poetically powerful, often beyond typical speech

  • Included uncommon but correct grammatical structures

• Some of these were not widely used by all Arab tribes, but known in poetry or among linguistically elite tribes.

3. Examples of Rare or Powerful Structures in Qur’an

Feature	Example	Explanation
Omission of expected particles	وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا (51:47)	Direct object ("the sky") precedes verb — poetic, emphatic word order
Non-standard plurals or duals	يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ (7:22)	Uses "عليهما" though grammatically expected might be more standard in another context — poetic license
Uncommon verb forms	Use of تَسَآءَلُ, تَوَفَّتْهُ, فَتَيَمَّمُوا	All follow Arabic root-based patterns but in elevated forms

---

4. Arabic Grammar Was Formalized After the Qur’an

• The science of Nahw (grammar) began to be written down after Islam spread to non-Arabs.

• Early grammarians like:

  • Abu al-Aswad al-Duʾali (d. ~688 CE)

  • Sibawayh (d. ~793 CE) — Persian scholar who wrote Al-Kitāb

• These scholars used:

  • Pre-Islamic poetry

  • Qur’an

  • Speech of pure Arab tribes (Ahl al-ʿArabīyah)

So, Qur’anic Arabic became a foundational reference for grammar, not the other way around.

---

5. Did the Qur’an "Invent" Grammar?

• No. But it revealed Arabic in:

  • Its most complete, purest, and divinely inspired form.

• What may have seemed new to non-native speakers or later grammarians was actually already possible within the system, just unusual or rare.
