التعريف :

---

This is the plural form of ṣaḥafī, which denotes a person who acquires his learning from reading sheets and books, not under a teacher. This describes a person who does not have good grounding in Islamic studies, but relies on some of his readings. In modern parlance, the Arabic term refers to professional journalists.
