        abstract = {This study examines the transmission and reception of Arabic 
grammatical knowledge within the pesantren tradition of Cirebon through an in
depth analysis of three locally written commentaries (shar{\d h}) on al-Jurumiyyah: 
Zubdat an-Naqiyyah by KH Aqil Siroj (Kempek), Tahr{\=i}ran Jur{\=u}miyyah by KH 
Muhammad (Kebon Jambu), and Tahr{\=i}r{\=a}n al-Jur{\=u}miyyah by KH Asmawi (Az
Ziyadah). The research is motivated by the strong tradition of instrumental 
sciences (?ilm al-{\=a}lah{--}particularly na{\d h}w and {\d s}arf) in Cirebon?s salafiyah 
pesantren, which historically functioned as key centers for the pedagogy of kitab 
kuning in West Java. Design/Method/Approach {--} Employing an applied 
philological approach, reception analysis, and educational ethnography, this study 
traces the chains of scholarly transmission, the structural characteristics of local 
shar{\d h} compositions, and the pedagogical strategies implemented through 
bandongan, sorogan, lalaran, and oral?written examinations. Findings {--} The 
findings reveal that vernacular shar{\d h} function both as instructional tools facilitating 
comprehension of classical Arabic texts and as a form of vernacularization of 
Arabic grammar that demonstrates pesantren scholars? capacity for local 
intellectual reproduction. Pedagogical technologies such as makna gandul 
(symbolic markers such as ?, ?, ?), contextual i?r{\=a}b examples, applicative 
explanations, and Cirebonese idioms significantly assist beginner students in 
internalizing grammatical principles. Research Implications {--} This study 
concludes that the Cirebonese local shar{\d h} tradition plays a significant role in 
preserving the continuity of the classical na{\d h}w curriculum while simultaneously 
enriching context-based models of Arabic grammatical learning within the 
pesantren educational system.}
