The Shaykh : Then he said: "By al-Lat and al-Uzza, which have been gathered together": This is the feminine plural form of the relative pronoun, which has two forms: allati and allai. You would say: "The women who stood up came," and "I saw the women who stood up." Allah the Exalted said: [An-Nisa 4:15], [An-Nisa 4:15], and He said: [At-Talaq 65:4]. Thus, in the Qur'an, both forms are used: allati, and the second: allai. He said:
"By al-Lat and al-Uzza, which have been gathered together *** and al-Uzza, like those who are few and have fallen",
"Nazran" means few. And "alladhina" is the form for what?
The student: For the masculine plural.
The Shaykh : For the masculine plural. So he says that "allai" can take the place of "alladhina," meaning it is used for the masculine plural. Based on this, how many forms do the masculine plural have?
The student: Three forms.
The Shaykh : How much?
The student: Three forms.
The Shaykh : Three forms: "The first, and alladhina, and allai", but this last one is rare. From this is the saying of the poet:
"So our fathers are not safer for us *** than the allai who have prepared the chambers"
The evidence is his saying: "allai who have prepared": meaning those who have prepared, those who have prepared the chambers. And "allai." Is the time up, O Muhammad?
