The Meaning of Allah’s Saying: “Indeed, every soul has a guardian over it” and its grammatical parsing

The Shaykh : We return to the surah. I am asking the grammarians among you to parse this sentence. May Allah guide you. Yes. “Inna” means “ma” (no), and “lima” means “illa” (except). So the estimated meaning of the verse is: “No soul is except that it has a guardian over it.” Because when “inna” is followed by “illa,” it is for negation, as Allah the Exalted said: and similar verses, which are numerous. So when “illa” comes after “inna,” what is it? It is negating. Good. And “lima” means “illa,” meaning: “No soul is except that it has a guardian over it.” What does the guardian do? He guards her. From whom? He guards her and he guards over her. As for guarding her, its evidence is the saying of Allah the Exalted: What is it? This is from the Qur’an. From the Sunnah: This is guarding the soul, guarding the soul for the reckoning. It means that Allah has placed over every soul, each one of us, angels who record his deeds, as Allah the Exalted said: These guardians are other than the saying of Allah the Exalted: from the command of Allah. So every person has a guardian who guards him from the command of Allah and records his deeds. When will the reckoning be upon it? When will the reckoning be upon it? Stop, you are being held back. Good, so there is no blame on you. Who knows when the reckoning will be upon the deeds?
The student: On the Day of Resurrection.

The Shaykh : On the Day of Resurrection. And for this reason, Allah named it the Day of Reckoning. Rest. This which is written for the person, he will be reckoned for it on the Day of Resurrection. And how will he be reckoned? Allah the Exalted said: open. Read your book. Some of the Salaf said: “By Allah, He has been just to you in making you a reckoner over yourself.” Yes, by Allah, this is justice. There is no one who claims against you and says, “Bring proof,” or else your word is rejected. This book exists, read it. “Sufficient for you today is yourself as a reckoner.” And what is written in this? Listen to the saying of Allah the Exalted: One on the right and one on the left. Raqib means a watcher, Atid means present, not absent. Not a single word of speech. The scholars say: “It is a text of generality” because the indefinite in the context of negation is for generality. But it may be accompanied by something that makes it a text of generality that does not allow for anything else. So what made it a text of generality? Please.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No, there is no relative “ma” here. “Ma” is not pronounced. “Ma” is negating. What is it from these?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Why did you make it a text of generality?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No, “min” is from the relative pronouns. If we had one of the scholars of grammar, he would do to you what he does. Rest. There is no grammar with you. The apparent is that “ma” is not pronounced. It is said: “Min qawl” (from speech). “Min” is an extra preposition. And when an extra preposition enters a word, it affirms its meaning, meaning the meaning of the context. “Ma yalfaz min qawl” (No word is spoken from speech). We say “min” is an extra preposition grammatically, but not extra in meaning, because its meaning is affirmation, affirmation of the negation. What speech? All speech, as long as we said “qawl” for the affirmed negation with “min,” it means all speech, whether good or evil or idle talk. Because the speech of a person is three categories: good, evil, and idle talk. which is one of the three categories. So he does not say idle talk and he does not say evil. And listen to the descriptions of the servants of the Most Merciful: safe from it, far from it. And how much is the idle talk in our speech! Rather, complete it. Rather, complete it. Rather, how much is the falsehood! And “al-zur” (falsehood) here is not false testimony. Every forbidden word is falsehood. So how much of it there is! A man entered upon Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal while he was sick, and may Allah have mercy on him, he was groaning from the illness. Do you know groaning? He was groaning from the illness. So he said: “O Abu 'Abdillah, so-and-so, and he mentioned his name, from the Tabi'un, said:” “The angel writes even the groaning of the sick person” even the groaning of the sick person. So he stopped the groaning, may Allah have mercy on him. He stopped the groaning, he was patient and endured the illness and did not groan, fearing what? Fearing that it would be written. Fearing that it would be written. So, “every soul has a guardian over it.” We return to the verse: meaning: No soul is except that it has a guardian over it.
