It is a Madd that comes from the
vowel on a هاء
الضمير(pronoun or possessive pronoun ـه) which meets the following conditions:
A ـهon the end of a word (last letter) that is not part of the
original make-up of the word, representing the singular third person
male. It is voweled either with a Dhammah or a Kasrah, positioned between
two voweled letters, the reader is not stopping on it, and it is not followed
by a Hamzah. When all these requirements are met the Dhammah on the ـه (if there is one) becomes
lengthened into a
lengthened و or the kasrah on the ـه becomes lengthened like a lengthened ي. When stopping
on this ـه we stop with
a regular Sukoon, and the two count Madd is dropped.
If theـه has a sukoon on
it (when continuing and when stopping), there is no lengthening of the vowel on
the ـه .
If the letter before, and or after the ـه has a
sukoon, there is no lengthening of the vowel of the ـه .
The Greater Connecting Lengthening مَد الصِّلة الكُبرَى
Its definition: If the pronoun/possessive pronoun ـه representing
a third person male gender is at the end of a word (meaning not part of the
original make-up of the word) and it has a vowel of a Dhammah or a Kasrah, is
between two voweled letters, and the first letter of the next word is aHamzah,
the Dhammah on the pronoun/possessive pronoun ـه is lengthened into a و, or the Kasrah is lengthened into a ي and
it can be lengthened four or five counts.
This lengthening has the same
requirements as the Lesser Connecting Lengthening
(مَد الصِّلة الصُغرَى), except in this case (meaning The Greater
Connecting Lengthening/مَد الصِّلة الكُبرَى),
there is a Hamzah as the first letter of the next word following the
pronoun/possessive pronoun ـه ,
whereas in the Lesser Connecting Lengthening
(مَد الصِّلة الصُغرَى), there cannot be a Hamzah as the first
letter of the next word after the pronoun/possessive pronoun ـه .
This Madd follows
the allowed separated lengthening (مد مُنفَصِل جَائِز) in vowel counts.
Will be discussed
later inshaa Allah
Exceptions to : Silah Sughraمَد الصِّلة الصُغرَى
The First:
وَإِنْ تَشْكُرُوا يَرْضَهُ لَكُمْ الزمر 7
Here there is NO Madd of the
ـه
even though all the conditions are met.
The Second:
وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا (69) الفرقان 69
Here there IS a Madd, even
though all of the conditions have not been met (there is a Sukoon before the ـه ).
This is the way Hafs ‘an ‘Aasim
reads these ‘aayaat.
The pronoun ـه of the female noun هذِهwhich means
“this” referring to a female object, follows lesser connecting medd rule if it
is between two voweled letters.
