The Sanad and the Matn in the Arabic Narrative Writings
Abstract
The duality of the sanad and the matn, on which the news is based, forms the basis for the entire news story. It is a binary condition. Care for sanad is the way to take care of the Matn. However, the flourishing composition of the fourth century of Islam was conducive to the development of this dichotomy, from which the Rawi/Al-Rawi dichotomy descended, the most important feature of which was the Arab narrative. The two-way approach was to take care of the sanad. The first direction was to take care of it and stick to it. The second trend sought to reduce it and reduce its use, which was not hostile to it, but rather dilution and brevity, away from restriction and commitment.
