Question/Comment
As-Salaamu
alaykum,
I was scanning through the site and I came across this question http://www.abouttajweed.com/170202.htm

I believe there is a small mistake in Arabic grammar. In Classical Arabic, when you are addressing someone, or calling them, the
calling
is either used directly, or implied.
The proper name after the ya’ of calling becomes marfoo’ in grammar, and
usually (but not always) acquires a dhammah. If an Arab in that
time wanted to call the Prophet’s attention, they would have said
(yaa Muhammedu), but the Muslims addressed him by (yaa Rasoolu-llah).
I believe that it should be
Yaa
Rasoola-llahi not Yaa Rasoolu-llahi because al-munadaa becomes manSoob in
idhaafah. wa Allahu a3lam.
As-Salaamu alaikum
