The Shaykh’s explanation of the two verses combined with one another: "And before the state... by the ruling."

The Shaykh : Then he explained the verse again, saying: "And before the state":
This means that the predicate is omitted before a state that cannot serve as a predicate, meaning it is not valid for it to be a predicate, for the subject whose predicate is, meaning for the subject, "whose predicate has been omitted": And what does "omitted" mean? It means deleted. So, if the state is not valid to be a predicate for the existing subject whose predicate was deleted, then in that case, what is necessary? It is necessary to delete the predicate. In reality, this verse only applies if such a phrase is found in the speech of the Arabs, like "My striking the slave was bad." It is known that "bad" is not valid to be a predicate for "striking." And since it is not valid, we say: It must be that there is a deleted predicate for the sake of the coherence of the speech. Its estimation, as you know, is: "If it was" or "When it was" according to one opinion, or you repeat the subject as a possessive to the owner of the state, and you say: "My striking the slave, his striking was bad." May Allah make the truth clear to you, its clarification is tied to the ruling.
