The author of this book found words from +28 different Arabic dialects, in the Quran, spoken by +28 tribes.
Imagine a man who doesn't read or write coming with a book to challenge with its eloquence +28 tribes. He (peace be upon him) didn't have to do that! Why risk it? #Reflect
Translation:
"The book of languages in the Quran" from its beginning to its end. The language of Quraysh, Huthayl, Kenana, Al Aws, Al Khazraj, Khasham, Qays Aylan, ...
To put the difficulty of this challenge in more context, here's Ibn Abbas (the top authority on the Quran) saying: I never knew what the word "Fatir فاطر" means (in Quran 35:1) until I heard a Bedouin use the word "Fatir فاطر" to say he "created فطر a water well."
Ibn Abbas is from the Prophet's tribe & therefore they spoke the same dialect. Yet, he never heard that word before until he heard a Bedouin use it.
Question: When & how did the Prophet peace be upon him learn all these dialects?
Everything we know about him says he lived among his tribe for all his life & only traveled once (or twice, don't remember) to the borders of the Levant while working for Khadijah (RA).
