أَحْمَدَ Ahmad

The owner completing 'school of Ahmad', and another non-bending name (it shares the shape of a verb), so it takes '-a' with no tanwin where the pairing would call for '-i'. The unusual ending flags it as a proper name that does not fully decline.

From Praise and Petition in Prayer

أخبرنا أبو نعيم أحمد بن عبد الله قال

Abu Nu`aim Ahmad bin Abdullah informed us, saying,

أَحْمَدُ Ahmad

A man's given name acting as the real subject of the reporting, the same person the teknonym before it nicknamed. As a proper name it counts as definite on its own, so it never takes a separate 'the'.

From Trust in God

وكذلك التشهد الأول، يجب مع الذكر عند مالك وأحمد،

Similarly, the first Tashahhud is obligatory with remembrance according to Malik and Ahmad.

وَأَحْمَدَ and Ahmad

The wa- coordinates a second name onto the first, both governed by the earlier 'according to' and so both in the genitive. So the connector adds a second authority sharing the view, 'according to Malik and Ahmad'.

From Praise and Supplication in Prayer

وتسبيح الركوع والسجود كذلك أيضاً عند أحمد وغيره،

The glorification of bowing and prostration is likewise, according to Ahmad and others.

أَحْمَدَ Ahmad

A proper name governed by the preceding 'according to', and so in the genitive. As a name it is already definite, and it identifies the authority to whom this view is attributed.

From Praise and Supplication in Prayer

ومذهب أحمد مشهور عنه مطلقاً،

Ahmad's opinion is widely known.

أَحْمَدَ Ahmad

A proper name serving as the owner in the 'view of Ahmad' pairing, in the genitive owner slot after the head noun. As a name it is already definite and passes that definiteness back, fixing the phrase as Ahmad's particular position.

From Praise and Supplication in Prayer

وما يذكره أصحاب أحمد في مسائل الخلاف إن إيجاب هذه الأذكار من مفردات أحمد عن الثلاثة؛

And what the followers of Ahmad mention in issues of disagreement: making these remembrances obligatory is unique to Ahmad, apart from the three others.

أَحْمَدَ Ahmad

A proper name standing as the owner in the possessive pairing with 'followers' before it; it is what supplies the definiteness to the whole phrase. As a name it takes a special set of endings rather than the ordinary noun endings, which is why it does not carry the usual 'the'.

From Praise and Supplication in Prayer

أَحْمَدَ Ahmad

A proper name closing the 'of' pairing as its owner: 'the singularities of Ahmad'. It carries the special name-ending rather than ordinary noun marks, and it supplies the definiteness to the pairing.
