Abstract

The word in Arabic is divided into a noun, a verb and a letter, and each of them has a role in shaping the language and semantics. The verb has its distinct role because of its movement and change. Although the morphologists mentioned that the triple verb of more than three letters comes on four buildings (Istafal, ifawal, afaal, ifawal), but the traceability of the construction of (stafal) and its semantic meaning in hadiths of Al- Adhkaar show an active presence, as there are (29) verbs, and these verbs belong to different triple roots, and they have achieved diversity at the level of time and semantics. A division of the construction of (Istifala) and its connotations is done and based on what is mentioned in the morphological books, and the verbs came similar to those semantics, and there are also connotations that the verbs do not have the notice, as well as new connotations revealed by the context in which the verbs were mentioned. This study is limited to what is mentioned in those hadiths, so it requires dividing the semantics into two parts.
