A linguistic note on the lam of causation following the waw.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, as a digression, some people pronounce the lam of causation following the waw with sukun (silence). They pronounce the lam of causation following the waw with sukun, as in the phrase [Al-'Ankabut 29:66] This is incorrect. The correct way is to say [Al-'Ankabut 29:66] and let them enjoy, because the lam here is the lam of causation, and the lam of causation is always kasrah (vocalized with i). Now, if someone asks, what do you say about the phrase of Allah the Exalted [Al-Hajj 22:29] where the lam is silent? The lam is silent. How do you explain that the lam of causation is kasrah? Please.

The Shaykh : This one, well done. This is the lam of command. May Allah reward you. This is the lam of command, and the lam of command is pronounced with sukun after the waw, thumma, and fa. The lam of command is pronounced with sukun after these three letters: the waw, the fa, and thumma. Now, who can give us an example of the lam of command after the waw, other than the verse I just read? Please.

The Shaykh : How about[Al-Baqarah 2:186] Is this correct? Yes, it is correct, because the lam is the lam of command. May Allah reward you. Now, in any case, we have now learned a linguistic and Qur'anic point. What is the lam of causation? It is always kasrah. The lam of command is pronounced with sukun in three places: after the fa, the waw, and thumma. Yes.
