A Study on the Translation of  «Ma…Men» Style into Persian: the Case Study of Tuhaf al-Uqul and Futuh al-Buldan

One of the common styles in ancient and contemporary Arabic is the expression of «ãÇ… ãöä». This style has been used 105 times in Tuḥaf al-'Uqūl and 21 times in Futūḥ al-Buldān. It consists of "ãÇ ÇáãæÕæáÉ" as a relative pronoun or "ãÇ ÇáÔÑØیÉ" as a conditional noun and "ãöä ÇáÈیÇäیÉ" as an indicative preposition. This style is studied in this article from the three grammatical, rhetorical and translational aspects. At first, different types of "ãÇ " have been briefly explained, then the meaning of "ãöä ÇáÈیÇäیÉ" and its translation has been expressed with many examples and the difference between that and "ãöä ÇáÊÈÚیÖیÉ" " as a partitive preposition has been elaborated. In the next section, the reason why this style is used and its rhetoric aspect are explained, then the translations of some examples of this style used in the above mentioned books, have been analyzed. The article concludes that this style is used for two stabilizing the author's thought and sometimes it can be used for indicating the generality of the subject. It also proves that there is not a specific method for translating this style; however, it should be done in a way that the fluency of the text is not harmed.
