The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is it that hardship is mentioned once and ease is mentioned twice? How did we derive this from this verse?
The Shaykh:
For you, because "hardship" came with the definite article, and when it comes with the definite article, it is not repeated, unlike "ease," which came with the indefinite article, so it is repeated. The first is not the second. As for hardship, it is definite; the first is the second. What is not repeated is that the first is the second, and the second is for the anaphoric reference. The anaphoric reference, yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
This is from the composition of rhetoric. You have not studied rhetoric, and those who study it, I do not know. But this is one of the styles of rhetoric. Yes.
