The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"This is among their slander" means: among the lies of these people who said that the indication of the Qur'an and the Sunnah is linguistic in its chain because it is from individual reports, and in its meaning because it is from apparent meanings.
"Among their slander is that languages *** came to us through the transmission of individuals and single narrators"
This means that languages were transmitted to us through individuals, and this is one of the greatest slanders without a doubt. Were languages transmitted to us by individuals? No, languages were transmitted to us by mass transmission that is beyond all mass transmission. The language today among the Arab nation, from its inception to this day, is transmitted by the people, nation to nation, not by an individual transmitting it to an individual, but by a nation transmitting it to a nation. Is that not so? But this is among their slanders that languages are transmitted through individual reports; this is a great slander.
"So look at the words in their usage *** in these reports and the Qur'an
Do you think they require a supported, mass-transmitted transmission, or a transmission by a single individual?"
The answer is: No, the words in their usage among the nations, whether in a report or in the transmitted, mass-transmitted Qur'an, do not require a supported transmission. For example, if one says that the meaning of "ate" is consuming food by putting it in one's mouth, do we need to say: who transmitted "ate" and that this is its meaning in the language? No, it is not needed.
The student: It is not needed.
The Shaykh : Why?
The student: It is well known.
The Shaykh : Because it is well known, it is among the necessities.
