Explanation of the Eighth Verse, Which Is His Saying: “Our speech is a meaningful utterance, like ‘Istiqim,’ and a noun and a verb, then a particle of speech”

The Shaykh : The author, Ibn Malik, says: The author says: “Our speech is a meaningful utterance”. “Our speech”: The pronoun refers to the grammarians, so he is indicating that this definition of speech is in the terminology of grammarians, not in the terminology of linguists, because for linguists, “speech is an utterance, whether it conveys a benefit or not”. But for grammarians, he says, “Our speech is a meaningful utterance,” “Our speech is a meaningful utterance.” And if someone asks you: What is speech in the terminology of grammarians? You say: It is a meaningful utterance. What kind of benefit? “Like ‘Istiqim’”, meaning like the benefit of “Istiqim.” Accordingly, the example is for approximation. The example is for approximation, meaning that which conveys a benefit like the benefit of “Istiqim.” Yes, like the benefit of “Istiqim.” And that is because if you say: “Istiqim” (Be upright), you, the one addressed, benefit from a complete benefit; you do not expect, you do not anticipate, you do not anticipate, nor do you wait for other words. But if you say: “If you stand up,” this is correct and has a benefit... a conditional one, which is standing up, but the one addressed anticipates what? He anticipates the rest of the speech. Up to now, he has not benefited from the required benefit. “If you stand up,” now he has benefited, now he has benefited. Therefore, the author’s saying: “A meaningful utterance like ‘Istiqim’” means: Like the benefit of “Istiqim.” And “Istiqim” is a verb of command composed of a verb and a hidden subject, meaning “Istiqim, you.” Yes. So every meaningful utterance is speech according to grammarians, and what does not convey a benefit is not speech, even if it is long.
Yes, for example, if you say: “If you sit in the mosque and review and study and research with your colleagues and look at your books.” Is this speech? It is not speech, it is not speech, even though it is long, even though it is long. It must be meaningful. And if you say: “I have attained knowledge,” now it has become speech. Now it has become speech. Is that clear? There is no need for us to say that speech is composed of two nouns or of a verb and a subject. This is something that is not needed, because it would lengthen our discussion, and the intended point is for us to understand what speech is according to grammarians? Every meaningful utterance, whether it is composed of two nouns or of a noun.
