The attached ya’ denoting “me” or “my”

1. The occurs before which has an accompanying , dhammah or kasrah, or before whichoccurs with a or without, or before any other letter. 

  Ibn Katheer reads the with a on the ya' if occurs before which has an accompanying .
For example: The recitation of Ibn Katheer reads as with no medd, since the ya' now has a and is not saakinah. .

There are 14 places in the Qur’an however, in which  are followed by with an accompanying , but Ibn Katheer reads the ya' with a sukoon, in contradiction to his general rule of reading these ya'aat with a.
 The 14 places in which the recitation of Ibn Katheer reads the with a sukoon when followed by wiith an accompanying are :

(Aali' Imraan 41, Maryam 10)

(Nuh 6)                    

   There are also eight places in the Qur’an in which is followed by with an accompanying kasrah and Ibn Katheer reads with a sukoon on the which is the general rule for Ibn Katheer when it is followed by a with an accompanying kasrah, but since it contradicts the way of reading of Hafs, we will mention the places.

(Al-Maidah 28)          

(Al-Maidah 116)           

(Yunus 72, Hud 29, and 51, Ash-Shu’araa’ 109, 127, 145, 163, and 180, Saba’ 47)

3. Ibn Katheer reads with a when followed by hamzah al-wasl in the following aayaat:

Al-Bazee riwaayah of Ibn Katheer reads with a of the in:
(Al-Furqan 30)       


5. Ibn Katheer reads the following with a sukoon, in opposite to the riwaayah of Hafs:

(Al-Baqarah 125, Al-Hajj 26, and Nuh 28)  
(Aali 'Imran 20)                                        
(Al-A'raf 105, A-Tawbah 83, Al-Kahf 67, 72, 75, Al-Anbiyaa’ 24, Ash-Shu’araa’ 62, 118, and Al-Qasas 34) 

(Sad 23)                                                   
(Ibraheem 22, Sad 69)                               

(Ta-Ha 18)                                              


Qunbul reads with a sukoon, while Al-Bazee has two allowed ways of reading the (either a sukoon or a ) in:


(Al-Kafirun 6)
