Hamzah Al-Wasl
Lesson
7
The Meeting of a hamzah qata' and hamzah wasl in one
word
There are two possible ways of this
occurring. The first way is when the
precedes
the
saakinah.
The second occurrence is when
of
questioning (istifhaam) precedes .
We will look as some of these cases this
tidbit lesson, and continue next lesson, insha' Allah.
Case 1: Hamzah al-wasl preceding hamzah al-qata'
(
) saakinah.
This only occurs in a few verbs. Examples
of this can be found in the following aayaat:
We know from previous subjects that
when we join the word preceding the word starting with hamzah-t al-wasl, we
then drop ,
as
it is not needed; while the
saakinah
stays fixed, and is pronounced. In the first example above:
we
would read the 
of
with a
kasrah, then immediately pronounce the hamzah qata' saakinah (
)
When beginning any one of these verbs
having a hamzah wasl as the first letter and a hamzah qata' saakinah as the
second letter, we begin with hamzah-t al-wasl with the appropriate vowel,
depending on the vowel of the third letter of the verb and taking into
consideration whether it is an original or presented dhammah. After this, the
that
immediately follows is changed in to a medd letter of the same category as the
vowel we used on the hamzah al-wasl. If we start on hamzah al-wasl with a
dhammah the
saakinah
that immediately follows becomes a lengthened
. If, on the other
hand, we start the hamzah al-wasl with a kasrah, the hamzah al-qata' then
would be changed to a lengthened 
.
This rule was previously discussed under the medd badl lesson, and it is as
such: whenever two hamzahs meet, the first voweled, the second saakinah, the
second hamzah changes into a medd letter of the same type as the vowel on the
first hamzah. This rule is employed anytime there are two hamzahs, the first
voweled, the second saakinah, but is used in the hamzah wasl only when
starting on a verb that has a hamzah wasl immediately followed by a hamzah
qata' saakinah.
Case 2 The Questioning hamzah al-qata' preceding
hamzah al-wasl
This occurs in nouns and verbs. In verbs,
the
is
eliminated and
of
questioning remains. In nouns both the hamzah qata' and the hamzah wasl
remain in the word.
In Verbs
Hamzah al-wasl is dropped in writing and
pronunciation and the hamzah al-qata’ of questioning remains. This is in
verbs. The following aayaat demonstrate this:
The above aayaat are all the cases of the
hamzah qata' of questioning preceding hamzah al-wasl in verbs. As stated
previously, hamzah al-wasl is dropped in writing and in pronunciation, and
only
remains.
There is no special application in pronunciation, rather the words are
pronounced exactly like they are written.
Next lesson, insha' Allah we will discuss
the other occurrence of the questioning hamzah preceding the hamzah al-wasl,
which is in nouns. In the case of nouns, both hamzahs remain and there are
changes made in pronunciation to the hamzah al-wasl. The details will be
given, insha' Allah next lesson.
