The student: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the distinction between the indefinite and the definite:
"And alif, waw, and nun are for what *** is absent, and its counterpart is like qama and alima
And of the pronouns of elevation, some are hidden *** like kafa'il, awafiq".
The Shaykh : Awafiq.
The student: "naghtabidh idha tashkur".
The Shaykh : How?
The student: "ka-af'il".
The Shaykh : Kafa'il.
The student: "kafa'il awafiq naghtabidh idha tashkur
And that which has elevation and separation is ana, huwa *** wa anta, and the branches are not to be confused
And that which has accusative case in separation is made".
