The questioner : Is the origin of derivatives the noun or the verb?
The Shaykh : Yes, and what do you say about this?
The student: What is the question, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: What is the question?
The Shaykh : There are two opinions!
The student: The question, O Shaykh!
The Shaykh : Is the origin the verb or the noun?
The student: The noun.
The Shaykh : The correct view is that the origin is the noun.
The student: The noun?
The Shaykh : Yes, and for this reason you say: "Dharaaba (he struck) is derived from dhurub (striking)," and you do not say: "Dhurub (striking) is derived from dharaaba (he struck)."
The student: Is there an opinion that if we say the verb is derived from a noun, that the origin of the verb is the noun, and that the verb is the origin of the other derivatives?
The Shaykh : It is not possible in that sense, and the origin of everything is not the noun, even though "dhaarib (striker)" is from "dhurub (striking)," but it means "one who strikes," yes.
