The questioner : May Allah reward you. It is "Allah does not care about them" with a connected ta.

The Shaykh : how
The questioner : That is, "Allah does not care about them" with a pronoun.
The Shaykh : With a pronoun, meaning attached to the pronoun, is that right?
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : Attached to the pronoun, yes, the meaning changes, there is no doubt.
The questioner : I have it with a connected ta.
The Shaykh : Because if you say "bal," it becomes "the bal of Allah," meaning, whereas "bal" means caring, that is, He does not care about them. "Bal" is like what we call "the matter" or "the state" or something similar.
The questioner : That is, do we say "Allah has a bal" like that? Do we say that?
The Shaykh : No, we do not say "Allah has a bal." We say, for example, "Allah does not care about these people."
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. Is it taken from this context that the importance of linguistics for hadith scholars, when he mentioned "the departure of the rain"...
The Shaykh : He mentioned "the departure of the rain," and he also mentioned "hufalah" and "hathalah." There is no doubt that people of language pay attention to this. My intention is that people of hadith pay attention to language.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
