Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We return now to the words of the commentator (may Allah have mercy on him). He says: [Al-An'am 6:135] And as we mentioned in the tafsir, "status" means what you were upon, and it means condition in the commentator's words. according to my condition. From where did he understand that the implied meaning is "according to his condition"? Because it is the counterpart to his saying: meaning I am acting according to my status. Okay, I am acting [Hud 11:39] ……

The Shaykh : ...How?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, it is according to his condition.
The student: The implied meaning
The Shaykh : The implied meaning is "according to his status."[Hud 11:39] He says "who" is a relative pronoun, the object of the verb of knowing. How?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : The object of the verb of knowing with the taa in your grammar.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Okay, and what... if I say "object of the verb of knowing," it is with you. I thought... yes, it is a relative pronoun, the object of the verb of knowing. Where is the knowing? If the author had said "object of 'you will know,'" it would have been clearer, because what is in the verse is not the verbal noun but the verb. He should have said "object of 'you will know,'" but the book is actually written for students of knowledge. Therefore, we do not recommend reading this book for a beginner, because this book, even though it is small, is beyond the understanding of a beginner. Okay...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : ...The answer is preserved, if Allah wills. Okay, "who" is a relative pronoun, the object of "a punishment will come to him that will humiliate him." If "who" is a relative pronoun, then the clause "a punishment will come to him" has no grammatical position; it is the relative clause of the relative pronoun. "A punishment that will humiliate him": what did we say about "punishment"? A penalty. And the clause "that will humiliate him" is a description of "punishment," not the answer to "who," because "who" is a relative pronoun and does not require an answer.[Hud 11:39] "It descends upon him a permanent, lasting punishment, which is the punishment of the Fire, and Allah has already humiliated them at Badr."
