Why did Ibn Malik give two examples in his statement, "And like: I have a dirham and I have a spring..."?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : "I have a spring" is the same thing. "I have a spring": "spring" is an indefinite noun, and it is the subject, which has no justification for being delayed except for the sake of postponement. So the two examples, meaning Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him), made them two examples because the first is a circumstantial phrase, and the second is a preposition and its object, otherwise it is the same.
