The questioner : What is the criterion, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This criterion is well known: the active participle, the passive participle, and the comparative adjective are derived words.
The student: Only these?
The Shaykh : Only.
The student: Could you repeat it, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, the active participle, the passive participle, the comparative adjective, and the superlative adjective as well.
The student: And the intensive form?
The Shaykh : That is included in the active participle, because the intensive forms are among the active participles. Now, other than these, they are not derived. Yes?
