Significado
Refers to information or statements that have been previously presented or reported.
Contexto cultural
In Gulf media and official statements, 'حسب ما ورد' is used with high frequency to maintain a tone of extreme politeness and professional distance, reflecting the culture's emphasis on formal protocol. Egyptian administrative Arabic often substitutes 'حسب' with 'طبقاً لـ' (Tibqan li), though 'حسب ما ورد' remains the standard for news broadcasts on Egyptian TV. In Levantine academic circles, this phrase is used to show intellectual humility, attributing ideas to their original authors rather than claiming them as one's own. The verb 'ورد' is used in religious texts to describe a Hadith (prophetic saying) that has 'arrived' through a reliable chain. Using it in modern contexts carries a subconscious weight of truth and reliability.

Perguntas frequentes
14 perguntasOnly if you are being sarcastic or joking about being very formal. Otherwise, it's too stiff.
'Hasaba' is 'according to' (general), while 'Wifqan' is 'in accordance with' (implies following a rule).
In this specific fixed phrase, yes. You wouldn't say 'Hasaba ma yaridu'.
No, here 'ma' is a relative pronoun meaning 'that which' or 'what'.
It's better to use 'نقلاً عن' or 'يُقال أن' for rumors. 'Hasaba ma warada' implies a more reliable or documented source.
The root 'W-R-D' is used in the Quran, but this specific three-word phrase is a more modern construction of Standard Arabic.
Technically you could, but it is much more common to keep it masculine 'warada' as it refers to the 'ma' (the thing).
The preposition 'في' (in) is the most common, followed by 'عن' (from/by).
Do NOT use this phrase. Say 'بالنسبة لي' or 'في رأيي'.
It is understood by everyone but only *spoken* in formal contexts (news, speeches, formal meetings).
Yes, it is perfect for introducing a summary of a source in academic writing.
It literally means 'to arrive at a place' (originally a watering hole).
Yes, you can just say 'حسب التقرير' (According to the report), skipping the 'ma warada'.
Because using it correctly requires an understanding of formal register and the nuance of objective attribution.
