      وَمِنَ ٱلْحُرُوفِ ٱلشَّدِيدُ، وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَمْنَعُ ٱلصَّوْتَ أَنْ يَجْرِيَ فِيهِ، وَهُوَ ٱلْهَمْزَةُ وَٱلْقَافُ وَٱلْكَافُ وَٱلْجِيمُ وَٱلطَّاءُ وَٱلتَّاء وَٱلدَّالُ وَٱلْبَاءُ. وَذَلِكَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ ”أَلْحَجْ“ ثُمَّ مَدَدْتَ صَوْتَكَ لَمْ يَجْرِ ذَلِكَ.
      wamina l-ḥurūfi š-šadīdu, wahuwa llaḏī yamnaʕu ṣ-ṣawta ʔan yajriya fīhi, wahuwa l-hamzatu wal-qāfu wal-kāfu wal-jīmu waṭ-ṭāʔu wat-tāʔ wad-dālu wal-bāʔu. waḏalika ʔannaka law qulta ”ʔalḥaj“ ṯumma madadta ṣawtaka lam yajri ḏalika.
