[edit]

MixenXIX please discuss why you think this article should be changed from the stable version.

As I mentioned in the edit summaries, if the definitive ال is added to the second term it must also be added to the first term, otherwise it creates an idafa construction, which is incorrect. It's الشمائل المحمدية (The Muhammadan Virtues) not شمائل المحمدية (The Virtues of Muhammadness). If you are literatre in Arabic, see the title as it appears on the covers of the book: https://www.google.com/search?q=%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%A6%D9%84+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A9&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwie_vHfxtf4AhWWBhoKHXxJCooQ_AUoAXoECAIQAw&biw=1440&bih=764&dpr=2

Either the full "Ash-Shama'il al-Muhammadiyya" or the simplified "Shama'il Muhammadiyya" are acceptable anglicizations, but not the one with only the second term defined, which creates an Iḍāfah. إيان (talk) 11:20, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
