In the discussion of the previous lesson, what is the meaning of the hamzah in His saying: [Az-Zumar 39:22]
The student: The hamzah is for interrogation.
The Shaykh : And the fa.
The student: The fa is a conjunction.
The Shaykh : And what it is conjoined to.
The student: ... It is conjoined to what came before, and it is conjoined to an implied word.
The Shaykh : And to the first one.
The student: It is conjoined to what came before.
The Shaykh : That is, yes, the hamzah is considered to be postponed in the conjunction, and the implied word is:
The student: Is he whom Allah has opened his breast to Islam...
The Shaykh : No, what is the implied equivalent? If we say it is conjoined to what came before, how is the implied word? The fa of "min"? No, you are the one at the beginning.
The student: I am the fa of "afman sharaha" (Is he whom Allah has opened).
The Shaykh : Yes, the fa of "afman sharaha" (Is he whom Allah has opened) his breast. Good. His saying: Is the intended meaning, Ya Khalid, the physical light or the spiritual light?
The student: The spiritual light.
The Shaykh : The spiritual light, and what does it include? What does it include?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What is this light? Is it knowledge, or is knowledge something else?
The student: Insight and guidance.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The student: Meaning...
The Shaykh : No.
The student: Knowledge.
The Shaykh : Knowledge and other things.
The student: Discernment.
The Shaykh : Discernment, discernment, and knowledge of matters. Yes. His saying:[Az-Zumar 39:22] From here, 'Abdullah?
The student: It was said that it means "from" (bi)...
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: Or that it is in its original sense, hardened from the remembrance of Allah, meaning because of the remembrance of Allah.
The Shaykh : And is it possible for the remembrance of Allah to be a cause of hardness?
The student: Yes, Allah the Mighty and Majestic said:[At-Tawbah 9:124-125]
The Shaykh : Yes. His saying "in manifest error," what is the meaning of "mubin" (manifest)? That is, clear. We mentioned that the verb of "mubin" is either a quadriliteral or a triliteral. The brother behind you, Ya Khalid.
The student: The verb could be "abana" or "bana."
The Shaykh : Is it a triliteral or a quadriliteral verb?
The student: Triliteral.
The Shaykh : Triliteral means "bana" (appeared), with the alif and nun, or is it quadriliteral?
The student: The quadriliteral, Ya...
The Shaykh : Now, is "mubin" from a triliteral or a quadriliteral verb? The word "mubin," which means "manifest," is its verb triliteral or quadriliteral? Do you not have knowledge of grammar? What does it say?
The student: Triliteral.
The Shaykh : Triliteral is incorrect. Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, "mubin," "mubin."
The student: From the triliteral.
The Shaykh : From the triliteral is incorrect.
The student: From the triliteral and the quadriliteral.
The Shaykh : Error.
The student: From the quadriliteral, but it came as an intransitive verb.
The Shaykh : Yes, correct. From the quadriliteral, but it came as an intransitive verb. "Mubin" is "muf'al" (a passive participle form), so it cannot be from the triliteral. "Mukram" (honored), is it from the triliteral or the quadriliteral?
The student: Quadriliteral.
The Shaykh : Quadriliteral. This is the same thing, because "mubin" is originally "mubin." Good. So "mubin" is from the quadriliteral. If the quadriliteral comes as intransitive, and it comes as? Transitive, unlike the triliteral, which does not come except as intransitive. Did you understand? Subhan Allah, meaning I thought, I thought that this was understood. Perfect. "Mubin" is from "abana" (the quadriliteral), but from the intransitive "abana" or the transitive "abana"?
The student: The intransitive.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The intransitive.
The Shaykh : The intransitive, because "abana" comes as intransitive and comes as transitive. So you say "abana al-haqq" (he made the truth clear), meaning he revealed it, so it is transitive. And you say "abana al-subh" (the dawn appeared), meaning the dawn appeared, so it is intransitive. Good.
So is one whose breast Allah has expanded
أفمن شرح الله صدرهThe student: The hamzah is for interrogation.
The Shaykh : And the fa.
The student: The fa is a conjunction.
The Shaykh : And what it is conjoined to.
The student: ... It is conjoined to what came before, and it is conjoined to an implied word.
The Shaykh : And to the first one.
The student: It is conjoined to what came before.
The Shaykh : That is, yes, the hamzah is considered to be postponed in the conjunction, and the implied word is:
The student: Is he whom Allah has opened his breast to Islam...
The Shaykh : No, what is the implied equivalent? If we say it is conjoined to what came before, how is the implied word? The fa of "min"? No, you are the one at the beginning.
The student: I am the fa of "afman sharaha" (Is he whom Allah has opened).
The Shaykh : Yes, the fa of "afman sharaha" (Is he whom Allah has opened) his breast. Good. His saying:
So he is upon a light from his Lord
فهو على نور من ربهThe student: The spiritual light.
The Shaykh : The spiritual light, and what does it include? What does it include?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What is this light? Is it knowledge, or is knowledge something else?
The student: Insight and guidance.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The student: Meaning...
The Shaykh : No.
The student: Knowledge.
The Shaykh : Knowledge and other things.
The student: Discernment.
The Shaykh : Discernment, discernment, and knowledge of matters. Yes. His saying:
Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah
ويل للقاسية قلوبهم من ذ كر اللهThe student: It was said that it means "from" (bi)...
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: Or that it is in its original sense, hardened from the remembrance of Allah, meaning because of the remembrance of Allah.
The Shaykh : And is it possible for the remembrance of Allah to be a cause of hardness?
The student: Yes, Allah the Mighty and Majestic said:
(124) And whenever a surah is revealed, there are among the hypocrites those who say, "Which of you has this increased faith?" As for those who believed, it has increased them in faith, while they are rejoicing. (125) But as for those in whose hearts is disease, it has [only] increased them in evil [in addition] to their evil. And they will have died while they are disbelievers.
وإذا ما أنزلت سورة فمنهم من يقول أيكم زادته هذه إيمانا فأما الذين آمنوا فزاددتهم إيمانا وهم يستبشرون وأما الذين فى قلوبهم مرض فزادتهم رجسا إلى رجسهم وماتوا وهم كافرونThe Shaykh : Yes.
