A question about the language of the Hijazis regarding the negative "ma"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The established rule

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : The established rule is the rule of facilitation, O Shaykh, but it has been invalidated here

The Shaykh : Why?

The questioner : Because we preferred, O Shaykh, the opinion of the Hijazis

The Shaykh : And He

The questioner : Which is to employ "ma"

The Shaykh : No, no, may Allah reward you, the language of those who use "ma" is contrary to the scholars; this is a language

The questioner : that is contrary

The Shaykh : No, no, the language

The questioner : that is contrary

The Shaykh : Which one? "Ma Zaydun qayyaman" or "Ma Zaydun qayyum"? This is a disagreement among the grammarians; it is a difference in the language of the Arabs. Which tribe are you from? From Tamim? Most of the people of Najd are from Tamim. So, according to your language, you must say "Ma Zaydun qayyum," correct?

The questioner : Qayyum

The Shaykh : "Ma Zaydun qayyum." And if you said "Ma Zaydun qayyaman" while you are from Tamim, you would be sinful

The questioner : in their view

The Shaykh : in their view, or making a grammatical error; making a grammatical error
