Classical Arabic Grammar: difference between مَّا (ma with shadda) and مَا

[Anoushirvan]

Peace free-minders,

Does someone know the difference between two M, one with shadda and one without shadda ?

Both seem to be used for negation with imperfect verbs.

Example for M with shadda.
2.105

And by the way, can someone recommand me a good book on classical arabic grammar ?

Certain sign in Quran are present for Tajweed (reading). 2104's last word is a Miim with Tunween. In short it is not for grammatical reasons. Best book in English for Grammar is William Wright. Lexicon by Edward Lane.

Those diacritical markers are not native with the Arabic of Quran but inserted by interpreters later. They mean nothing according to the author. They are supposed to give pronunciation help and knowing how a word should be interpreted although the problem is this interpretation hint is according to those interpreters.
