Discussion of the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((A speaker among them said: "Indeed, I had a companion * Who said: 'Are you among those who believe? * If we die and become dust and bones, * Are we then to be recompensed? * He said: 'Do you wish to look? * So he looked and saw him in the midst of the Blazing Fire * He said: 'By Allah, you nearly caused me to fall'))

His saying What is meant by the companion?
The student: The companion

The Shaykh : The meaning of the companion is the companion, but is the intended meaning a companion from among humans or from among the jinn?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : And if we say it is possible that both meanings are intended, is it possible that it includes both?
The student: It is possible

The Shaykh : It is possible because a person has companions from among the children of Adam and companions from among the devils of the jinn. Now, his saying What is meant by the interrogative? Brother, are you not present? Sali?
The student: Denial

The Shaykh : Denial means he denies to him that he believes in the Day of Resurrection
The student: Or that it is rebuke and humiliation, meaning he rebukes him for his belief

The Shaykh : How?
The student: Rebuke and humiliation, saying to him: Why do you believe in the Day of Resurrection?

The Shaykh : It means he denies to him, meaning he combines both. His saying ?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : And the interrogative in it
The student: Denial

The Shaykh : The denial, also, all of it is on the denial. The author says regarding the hamzas what has preceded
The student: Realizing both hamzas

The Shaykh : Realizing both hamzas
The student: Realizing the first and easing the second

The Shaykh : Yes, inserting an alif between them on both the realization and the easing, so the recitations become four. His saying Who is the speaker...?
The student: This man who has a companion
The Shaykh : The one who has a companion, whom is he addressing?
The student: He is addressing the people of Paradise

The Shaykh : And what is meant by the interrogative?
The student: In he asks them to look

The Shaykh : A command, meaning?
The student: No, it is not a command... it is an offer
The Shaykh : An offer. Now, did they agree to that or not?
The student: They agreed and went out with him, or they did not agree but did not respond to him
The Shaykh : What did the author assert?
The student: That they said no, but this...

The Shaykh : Well done. Now, his saying What is meant by the midst of the Blazing Fire...?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : In its middle and its bottom. Now, "By Allah," what do we say about it?
The student : An oath
The Shaykh : An oath. What is an oath technically?
The student: Swearing by something great for the sake of a specific thing

The Shaykh : A clearer definition, Nasr
The student: Affirming a thing by mentioning the exalted in a specific form

The Shaykh : Affirming a thing by mentioning the exalted in a specific form. Now, the letters of the oath, brother, your name is Ali. How many letters of the oath are there?
The student: Three: "By Allah," "By God"...

The Shaykh : No, answer the form, the letters...
The student: Three: the waw, the taa, and the baa

The Shaykh : Three: the waw, the taa, and the baa. Where is the answer to the oath in the verse, may Allah have mercy on you? Who knows?
The student: "I would have destroyed me" is implied

The Shaykh : No.
The student:

The Shaykh : No.
The student: The answer to the condition

The Shaykh : The answer to the oath. We want the answer to the oath. Where is the condition?
The student:

The Shaykh : No, this is not the condition. Glory be to Allah!!
The student: "Laula" is omitted

The Shaykh : It is present, my brothers. This answer is This is the answer
The student: A verb of oath

The Shaykh : No, it is a nominal sentence. The sentence here is nominal. Now, we are analyzing the issue. The answer to the oath, Ya 'Abd al-Mannan?
The student: Is this sentence verbal or nominal?
It appears to be nominal

The Shaykh : This is the apparent and the hidden, it is nominal. How was it nominal and it contains "kaddat" (nearly)?
The student: ...It began with "in"

The Shaykh : It began with "in," and if it begins with "in"
The student: If it is the answer...

The Shaykh : The answer to the oath, is it nominal or verbal?
The student: The context... "in" is the lightened form of the heavy "in"

The Shaykh : The lightened "in" from the heavy "in" enters the nominal sentence because it makes the subject and predicate accusative
The student: Its name is the pronoun of the matter
The Shaykh : The important thing is that the sentence here is nominal and it is the answer to the oath, and "in" entered it. Now, his saying The lam, 'Abd al-Rahman?
The student: For emphasis?
The Shaykh : For emphasis. What is its name?
The student: The distinguishing lam

The Shaykh : What is the meaning of the distinguishing lam?
The student: Because it distinguishes between the lightened "in" and the heavy "in"

The Shaykh : Which one does this lam enter? The lightened one or the negating one?
The student: On the lightened one

The Shaykh : The lightened one, and it does not enter the negating one
The student: It does not enter
The Shaykh : Because negation is the opposite of affirmation, and the lam is for affirmation. Now, his saying What is meant by the blessing
The student: We did not take it

The Shaykh : We did not take it, so let us take the benefits. And Allah, many of those we read, Allah the Mighty and Majestic said Did we stop at this?
The student:
