Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And likewise what is narrated: 'That a man came to the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and complained to him of the drought in the Year of the Dust, and he saw him ordering him to go to 'Umar, so he ordered him to go out and seek rain with the people. This is not from'.
The Shaykh : Why? Why did you say "seek rain" (in the accusative case)?
The reader: It is connected to
The Shaykh : I do not have the "wa" (and).
The reader: I have a waw (conjunction)
The Shaykh : That he goes out and seeks rain?
The reader: No, he goes out to seek rain.
The Shaykh : Yes, you put "seek rain" in the accusative case.
The reader: Does it become accusative because of a hidden "an" (that)?
The Shaykh : That he goes out that he seeks rain, do you mean?
The reader: That he goes out and seeks rain with the people.
The Shaykh : Yes, either you retract the accusative case to the nominative, or you clarify its grammatical basis?
The reader: It appears, O Shaykh, that it is in the nominative case.
The Shaykh : In the nominative case.
The student: In the accusative case.
The Shaykh : Why?
The reader: Answer to a request
The Shaykh : No, there is no answer to a request, so he ordered him to go out, therefore it is in the nominative case as he said, but it is permissible to put it in the accusative case. Ibn Malik said:
"And a verb is substituted for a verb, like one *** who comes to us seeking our help, meaning"
"Who comes to us" is the verb of the condition, "seeking our help" is the substitute, meaning it is as if he said "like one who seeks our help." Similarly here: "So he ordered him to go out to seek rain". If you delete "goes out" here, "so he ordered him to seek rain" is correct. Accordingly, it is permissible to put it in the accusative case as a substitute for the preceding verb, and it is permissible to put it in the nominative case as a present tense verb clause in the position of the accusative case as a state (hal).
The reader: "And similar to this happens often".
The Shaykh : This is not from this chapter.
The reader: "This is not from this chapter, and similar to this happens often to those who are below the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I know of incidents like this".
The Shaykh : And we have been told of incidents close to this. A person told me that a document was lost for him, a document regarding the purchase of a house, and they searched and asked, and the owner of the previous house said "get out," so they kept searching and found nothing. Then he saw his father in a dream and he said to him: "The paper has fallen onto the document at the beginning of the notebook." They returned to the notebook and found it correct, that the paper next to the cover of the notebook was stuck to it and they did not know about it. This happens often, that the dead know what has happened to the living and they receive guidance or something similar. Yes.
