Explaining the Meaning of Al-Yazik
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Wazakka, wazayyika, and wazakati: it passed, approximating his step as weak, and he walked wazayyika, Muqran. And al-zakah, with kasrah, is the weapon, and with dammah, the marsh and the swamp.
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning is the best thing, yes?
The student: Shaykh, regarding the second opinion of Shaykh al-Hirras.
The Shaykh : How?
The student: We... one of them is the meteors that Allah throws at the devils of mankind to protect His religion, just as He throws the celestial meteors at those who attempt to eavesdrop on the devils of the jinn.
The Shaykh : Who is this from?
The student: Al-Hirras.
The Shaykh : Al-Hirras assumed that al-yazik means the meteors that are thrown, but this is not the apparent meaning, because meteors are the name of an event. However, the apparent meaning is that al-yazik is the arrows, that they throw arrows at Islam, or that al-yazik is the weak walking, meaning that they do not count as enemies against Islam. As for the first meaning, that they throw at it, meaning that they throw arrows for Islam.
