Continuation of the explanation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((And it is not a retreat, if they only wish to flee))

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Allah the Exalted said:
while they were not exposed. They did not intend except to flee. وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ إِنْ يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:13]
Indeed إن
The author said, "What
The student: Negating
The Shaykh : Explanation of
Indeed إن
So here, what is it?
The student: Negating
The Shaykh : It is negating because it was explained by "ma," and "ma" is negating. Evidence for this is the occurrence of
Except إلا
after it, or rather, "la" means "ma in yuridun illa firaran" (they only wish to flee). This is proof that it is negating. And "in" comes as negating, as here, and it comes as conditional. What is an example?
but if you return [to war], We will return وَإِنْ تَعُودُوا نَعُدْ
[Al-Anfal: 19] And it comes as a lightened form of the heavy "in," such as
The student: ...

The Shaykh : This "in"
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, no, this one is conditional
The student: ...

The Shaykh : that
The student:
These two are indeed magicians إِنْ هَذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ
[Ta-Ha: 63]

The Shaykh :
These two are indeed magicians إِنْ هَذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ
[Ta-Ha: 63] This is a lightened form of the heavy "in." These are three, and it comes as superfluous
The student: ...

The Shaykh : This "in" that contradicts. Bring us something from the speech of the Arabs, or rather, from other than the Qur'an
The student: ...
The Shaykh :"Ma in antum dhahab wa la sarif, bal antum al-khazaf" (You are not gold nor silver, but you are pottery) This is superfluous, because "ma in antum" means "ma antum" (you are not). What determines these meanings? The context determines it. And this is by the consensus of the scholars, meaning that the existence of shared words that are determined by context is established in the Arabic language. But they differed on the issue of literal and metaphorical meaning. Some affirmed it, and some denied it, saying that metaphorical and literal meaning are like shared meaning. And shared meaning is something you affirm, and this is the stronger position, as mentioned several times before, that the correct view is that there is no metaphorical meaning in the Arabic language. Yes, he says:
If they wish إِنْ يُرِيدُونَ
This is the speech of Allah, Mighty and Majestic
while they were not exposed. They did not intend except to flee. وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ إِنْ يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:13]
The houses are fortified, and there is no fear for them greater than the fear for the city, and they have no excuse except one excuse, which is fleeing from battle, because they do not wish to face the enemy, but they are the enemy, as Allah said about them
