The meaning of the letter kaf in the phrase "as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The kaf in the phrase "as You sent blessings" is not for comparison, but for indicating the cause. The letter kaf is used to indicate the cause, as Ibn Malik said in the Alfiyyah, from the memorized Alfiyyah: "Comparison is with the kaf, and by it the cause may be intended, and it is also used as an extra for emphasis and it has been reported". He recited the verse a second time: "Comparison is with the kaf, and by it the cause may be intended, and it is also used as an extra for emphasis and it has been reported". And a third time, asking you to recite it: "Comparison is with the kaf, and by it the cause may be intended, and it is also used as an extra for emphasis and it has been reported". Oh Allah, oh son.
The questioner : Comparison is with the kaf, and by it the cause may be intended, and it is also used as an extra for emphasis and it has been reported.
The Shaykh : The point of the verse is the phrase: "and by it the cause may be intended", meaning that the cause may be intended by it. "May Allah send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim," meaning because You sent blessings upon Ibrahim, so we seek nearness to You through that, asking You to send blessings upon Your friend Muhammad and his family. It is clear.
