The reader: A chapter on the discussion
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : So every condition for it is non-existence...
The Shaykh : "So every condition for it": "Every" is a subject (mubtada') attached to "condition" (mashrut), and "non-existence" (adam) is the predicate (khabar) of the subject.
The questioner : Why...
The Shaykh : It means for every one who has an intellect.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, based on their claim that the soul is an attribute (ayn) that perishes when the body perishes, and that the message is conditional upon having a soul.
The questioner : ... like life
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Every condition for it is non-existence.
The Shaykh : Correct.
The questioner : And for the intellects
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, based on their words, if you say that the soul is one of the attributes and a quality of the body, and that no messenger can be sent except with a soul, then if the soul is lost, the message is lost by the consensus of people of intellect, yes.
