Continuation of the explanation of Ibn Malik's (may Allah have mercy on him) saying: "And inform with an adverb or a preposition *** intending the meaning of 'exists' or 'has settled'."

The Shaykh : The estimation, "the principle is facilitation and not estimation", so we say: the preposition and its noun is itself the predicate, and the adverb is the predicate. The important point is that this verse mentioned by Ibn Malik is as if it is an answer to an implied question, which is: you said that the predicate is either a single word or a sentence, and here it comes as an adverb and a preposition with its noun?! He said: the adverb and the preposition with its noun are either a single word or a sentence, and therefore we estimate "exists" or "has settled."
"And inform with an adverb or a preposition", meaning with its noun, "intending the meaning of 'exists' or 'has settled'".
Then he said: "And a time noun does not become a predicate".
The student: It has ended.

The Shaykh : The time has ended?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Fine.
The student: According to the stronger position, is it?

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Does it have a dependent?

The Shaykh : What?
The student: No dependent.

The Shaykh : No dependent.
The student: Shaykh!

The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: May Allah reward you. Who said that the Arabs intended "exists" or "has settled"?

The Shaykh : What?
