Is it correct to say "Ya Allahumma"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Allahumma, I am unable to say "Ya Allahumma."
The Shaykh : This is anomalous and is not used except in poetry. Ibn Malik said: "And 'Ya Allahumma' is anomalous in poetry". You have understood.
The questioner : Because I have read it.
The Shaykh : Listen, he says: "'Ya Allahumma' is anomalous in poetry". And what is poetry?
The questioner : Poetry.
The Shaykh : Poetry means that combining them is anomalous because it combines the object of the preposition with the preposition.
Yes
The questioner : Is the original form "Ya Allahumma" or "Ya Allah"?
The Shaykh : No, no. You say "Allahumma, forgive me." How do you answer our uncle with good? But the mīm is a sign of the plural, as if a person gathers his heart upon his Lord. Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : And this explanation was also transmitted.
The Shaykh : Yes, this explanation was transmitted, but it should be attributed to him.
