Transferring the vowel of the hamzah to the
saakin letter before it
When the last letter
of a word is not a medd letter and is saakin, and the first letter of the
next word is a
,
, Warsh transfers the vowel of the hamzah to the saakin letter before it,
and the hamzah is dropped in pronunciation. Examples of this are:
,
, and 
Included
in this is the
or
alif laam at-ta’reef, which is a different word than the noun it defines.
Examples are:
,
, and
.
When starting a word that has a hamzah qaTa’ after the alif lam “ta’reef”
when reading Warsh, there are two allowed ways of reading:
a.
If
it is considered as it is originally, then start with the hamzah wasl (with
a
), then transfer the
vowel of the hamzah qaTa’ that follows the
to
the
. The word
is
pronounced

b.
If it is
considered a conditional occurrence (because of the now voweled
)
then we can start with the
,
with its transferred vowel and there is no need to start with the hamzah
wasl, which is used to take us to a saakin letter. The word
is then pronounced as
.
If a word
starting with
,
then a
,
and then a
,
such as in:
or
there
are conditions as to which way we start and how much we can lengthen the
medd badl. If we start with the
,
not the hamzah al-wasl, then we can read the medd badl with two vowel counts
only. If we start with the hamzah al-wasl then the three different lengths
for the medd badl are allowed (2, 4 or 6 vowel counts).
Warsh has
two allowable ways of reading the word
in aayah 19 of surah Al-Haaqqah, when
read in continuum; joining it with the first word of the next aayah:
;
:
a.
of the vowel on the hamzah on the word

b. Leaving

* If joining aayah 19
in recitation with the aayaat that follow until:

there are
conditions for joining aayah 28 with 29. When reading

into the second. When

of surah An-Najm aayah 50, is read with idghaam of the tanween into the

the vowel on the hamzah of the word
is transferred to
the

) with the hamzah dropped (as usual in the case of
), as in:
.
Warsh reads the
following all without a sakt, and applies the appropriat rules for the noon
saakinah and tanween, as well as the laam saakinah:
,


There is no
change with the Arabic rule for two saakin letters meeting in the
recitation of Warsh, even though the laam of ta’reef acquires a
vowel with the
.
If there is a word that has an incidental vowel before the laam of
ta’reef with a
, the incidental vowel does not change and stays,
just as a dropped medd letter stays the same.
