Continuation of the interpretation of the verse: ((... and protect us from the punishment of the Fire)).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed. Allah the Exalted said:
and protect us from the punishment of the Fire." وقنا عذاب النار
[Al-Baqarah 2:201]
The qaf in "qina" is a verb of supplication, correct? The qaf is a verb of supplication, no, we say "q," "q" is a verb of supplication, we do not say "the qaf." Now, "the money for Zayd," what do we say? Do we say "lam" is a preposition or "lam" is a preposition? "Lam" is a preposition. What is the difference between "li-Zayd" and "q"? That is one letter and this is two letters. "Q" is one letter. What is its color? We say: because "lam" is a letter, and "q" is a verb. Therefore, if you wrote "kaf" as a letter of the alphabet, you would say: "qaf." So "q" is a command verb. What is its morphological pattern? "Ayn" how? Its morphological pattern is "ayn" because its fa' and lam were deleted, as its original form is from "waqa" (to protect), from "waqa," waw, qaf, alif, like this? So if the fa' and lam are deleted, what remains? The ayn remains, so "q" is on the pattern of "ayn." "Mara" (passed by) from "wa'a" (to know)? "Ayn." Its morphological pattern? "Ayn." Its morphological pattern is "ayn." "Wafa" (to fulfill)? "Fay." Its morphological pattern is "ayn." "Washa" (to whisper)? "Shay." And al-Khudhari mentioned in his commentary on Ibn 'Aqil, I think, about twenty verbs of this type, meaning a command verb whose fa' and lam were deleted and it became on the pattern of "ayn." His saying, the Exalted:
and protect us from the punishment of the Fire." وقنا عذاب النار
[Al-Baqarah 2:201]
from protection, meaning protect us from it. And is the intended meaning
protect us قنا
when we become deserving of it? Or
protect us from the punishmentقنا العذاب
so that we do not do what leads us to the punishment? Or both? The apparent meaning is that both are intended. So these noble ones supplicated that Allah the Exalted protect them from the punishment of the people of the Fire, and they supplicated that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, protect them from the Fire if they did the deeds of its people. But how does He protect them from the deeds of the people of the Fire if they did the deeds of its people? He protects them from that by multiple matters.
