ما الفرق بين كلمتي "نساء" و "نسوة" الواردتين في القرآن الكريم، مثل: "قال نسوة..." و "يا نساء النبي..."؟

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The difference between "nisāʾ" (نساء) and "niswah" (نسوة) is that "niswah" is a plural of paucity, indicating a small number, while "nisāʾ" is a plural of multitude, and it is the plural of "niswah." Al-Alusi mentioned that "niswah" is a broken plural for scarcity, and Abu Hayyan clarified that they are five women.
