Solving the previous riddle.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What is it... but it came back. Right? If I hadn't said it.
The student: In the seventh.
The Shaykh : In the ten.
The student: That it is in the seventh ten of the third third of the first third of the fourth quarter of the ninth ten of the first ten of the fifth fifth of the third third of the Hijrah.
I seek help from Allah in solving it, and I say: The months of the year are twelve months, namely Muharram, Safar, Rabi' al-Awwal, Rabi' al-Thani, Jumada al-Ula, Jumada al-Thani, Rajab, Sha'ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah. So we divide the months into four thirds. The fourth quarter begins from Shawwal. And his saying "of the third."
The Shaykh : The fourth quarter begins from Shawwal? Correct, the fourth quarter begins from Shawwal. Good.
The student: And their saying "the first third" is the month of Shawwal itself. The first third is the month of Shawwal, because he said: the fourth quarter of the first third is the month of Shawwal.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And his saying "of the third third" means that Shawwal is three thirds: first, middle, and last. So he says the third third, meaning the last third.
And his saying "in the seventh ten" means that the third third is ten days, starting from the twentieth to the thirtieth. So he wants the seventh ten, which is the twenty-seventh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: So the date becomes twenty-seven of the ten.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The student: And his saying "of the ninth ten of the first ten" is because the century is one hundred years. So he wants the first ten, from one to ten, and he wants the ninth ten, which is the number nine.
And his saying "of the fifth fifth of the third third of the Hijrah": since one thousand four hundred and nine is three thirds of five hundred, five hundred, and five hundred, he wants the third third, meaning the last five hundred. And his saying "of the fifth fifth": as we divide the last fifth into hundreds, we say one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, meaning five sections. So he wants from the last section, meaning the last hundred. And "min" (from) is for partiality, so it is possible from one to one hundred, so it becomes one thousand four hundred and nine, because we choose four.
The Shaykh : Yes, good.
The student: And as for the thousand, from five hundred plus five hundred it becomes one thousand. So the date became: twenty-seven of the ten, one thousand four hundred and nine. And I composed it in verses.
The Shaykh : Are there verses after that?
The student: Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And this answer is in the form of verses.
Praise be to Allah, the One whom we praise, Glorified is His praise.
And we mention with praise a unique Prophet...
The Shaykh : Unique.
The student: I corrected it so that the verse would be sound.
The Shaykh : No, it is all one, all one, whether it is in the accusative or the genitive case. Unique.
The student: ... Unique.
The Shaykh : It does not contradict... no harm.
The student: And we mention with praise a unique Prophet.
The Shaykh : Is it his Rajaz?
The student: No, no, it is organized verse.
The Shaykh : Fine.
The student: And we mention with praise a unique Prophet...
The Shaykh : Unique.
The student: Unique, after which my peace is for the one who affirms the oneness of Allah.
It is incomplete, I have to make it Rajaz.
The Shaykh : After what?
The questioner : After which my peace is for the one who affirms the oneness of Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: I wrote it down, and it was the twentieth before it, seven we all gathered—meaning twenty-seven—after it ten... for it is a problem we were asked about.
The Shaykh : It has length in this. Yes, this is a bit long, this is hanging down. Yes.
The student: Like that, a thousand before it forty.
Before it nine, these are a group.
The nine, or before it from the group.
The Shaykh : Group, good.
The student: So these solutions in brief are all present in the style.
And praise be to Allah for Islam, as the months and days have revolved.
The Shaykh : Yes, good, may Allah keep you safe.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : By Allah, good, this is a fine first fruit. It became Rajaz, it is not organized verse.
The student: Is there no prize, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : There is, by Allah, as long as... for the prize, we are not giving it.
The questioner : A prize of knowledge.
The Shaykh : A prize of knowledge, may Allah reward you with good, no, what Allah willed, good. Yes.
The reader: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The questioner : ... We read it yesterday and explained it.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The student: In the seventh.
The Shaykh : In the ten.
The student: That it is in the seventh ten of the third third of the first third of the fourth quarter of the ninth ten of the first ten of the fifth fifth of the third third of the Hijrah.
