Question:
Also, he asks: What is the meaning of 'Umar's statement, "Hardship will not overcome two easinesses"? And why did he use the singular for "hardship" and the dual for "easiness," even though in the form of explanation they are both dual?
Answer:
Yes, this is derived from this form. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Ash-Sharh 94:5] So when "hardship" comes with the definite article, it is singular, whereas when "easiness" is indefinite, it repeats and multiplies. This is the aspect of deriving the meaning from this form. Yes.
