On the names al-Fadl and al-Harith: If we want to call out, do we drop the "al"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Al-Fadl, al-Harith, and al-Nu'man: If we want to call out, for example, or add "O Shaykh," is it necessary to drop the alif and lam?!
The Shaykh : As for calling out, it is not obligatory; if you say, "O al-Fadl," that is fine. As for adding: Is a proper noun added to? If a proper noun is added to, it becomes indefinite, but a proper noun is added to, not added.
The student: Shaykh!
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: O Shaykh, we have reached the verses of review.
The Shaykh : What?
The student: In today's review.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: By reviewing what comes after.
The Shaykh : How is the review?
The student: We stop and review.
The Shaykh : Meaning: We stop to review what came before? Huh?
The student: Yes.
Another student: We stop!
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: A lot, O Shaykh!
Another student: It is the connected one, O Shaykh, but just this!
The Shaykh : The connected one, praise be to Allah, He made it very easy for me. I used to find any difficult, and you do not know what "any" is, until some of the grammarians said: "You have exhausted us with 'any.'" He said: "What is 'any' like, it was created". So the result is that—praise be to Allah—the vocabulary, since we have finished a chapter, meaning we went back and looked into it, there is no need.
