This research aims to reveal the problem of the mother of This paper aims at revealing the problem of () of Ingratitude; This is because it carries more than one meaning, such as reasoning, negation, and affirmation. Stemming from here , several questions present themselves: is the () for negating or confirming? Why was it called the () of ingratitude? Why did not we call it the () of negation? If it were for negation, the sentence would have been confirmed. That is because the negation of the negation is simply affirmation, and consequently the meaning of the sentence is distorted. In addition to disagreeing over its function by the grammarians , the Basrians said that it is not subjunctive in itself, but the function is for () it is supposed to be present, and the Kufics said that it is subjunctive by itself.
