Discussion of what was previously taken from the chapter on the section concerning what . . . .

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, it performs the function of *laysa*, and what is its name, Khalid?
The student: Al-Hijaziyyah.

The Shaykh : Why was it given this name?
The student: Because it is the language of the people of Hijaz, and they use it in the function of *laysa*.

The Shaykh : Because the people of Hijaz are the ones who use it in the function of *laysa*. All right.
Its usage has conditions.
The student: The first condition is that its predicate not be accompanied by *an*.

The Shaykh : What?
The student: That its predicate not be accompanied by *an*.

The Shaykh : That its predicate not be accompanied by *an*.
The student: Its name is...

The Shaykh : That its name not be accompanied by *an*, Khalid?
The student: That the extra *in* not come after it.

The Shaykh : Correct, that the extra *in* not accompany it; if it does accompany it, it does not perform its function. Can you bring me a witness from the speech of the Arabs?
The student: "The Banu Ghadana, you are not gold *** nor silver, but you are clay"
Here he said "you are not gold" and did not say "you are not gold" with the accusative case.

The Shaykh : If someone were to say this is Tamimiyyah.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : If someone were to say this is Tamimiyyah.
The student: No, no, this is not Tamimiyyah, this is Hijaziyyah.

The Shaykh : Yes, all right, well done. Yes, because if it were not Hijaziyyah, the grammarians would not have cited his speech as a witness. The second condition, Sharafi.
The student: The preservation of the negation.

The Shaykh : That the negation not be negated.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : All right, if it is negated.
The student: If it is negated, it does not perform its function.

The Shaykh : It does not perform its function. An example is...
The student: Zayd is not standing except...

The Shaykh : Except
The student: Zayd is not standing except...

The Shaykh : Move the *mim*.
The student: Except standing (nominative).

The Shaykh : Can you bring me a witness from the Noble Qur'an for this?
The student:
This is nothing but a human being like you ما هذا إلا بشرٌ مثلكم


The Shaykh : Yes,
This is nothing but a human being like you ما هذا إلا بشرٌ مثلكم
although Allah the Exalted said:
This is not a human ما هذا بشراً
The third condition, Kamal.
The student: ... That its predicate not precede its subject, nor precede it itself.

The Shaykh : That its predicate not precede its subject.
The student: Nor precede it itself.

The Shaykh : Nor precede it itself; if its predicate precedes its subject.
The student: It does not perform its function.

The Shaykh : It does not perform its function. An example is...
The student: An example is: Standing is not Zayd.

The Shaykh : "Standing is not Zayd," is that correct?
The student: Correct

The Shaykh : All right, the fourth condition, Bandar.
The student: That the object of the predicate not precede.

The Shaykh : That the object of the predicate not precede.
The student: The object of the predicate.

The Shaykh : Precede its subject.
The student: Precede its subject.

The Shaykh : Except
The student: If it is an adverb of time or place, or a preposition with its noun.

The Shaykh : Except if it is an adverb of time or place, or a preposition with its noun. An example: The first example.
The student: Your food is not Zayd eating.

The Shaykh : Your food is not Zayd eating.
The student: It is not permissible to put *akil* in the accusative case.

The Shaykh : So it is not permissible to put *akil* in the accusative case, meaning one does not say *akilan*. All right, if it is an adverb of time or place, or a preposition with its noun, it is permissible, it performs its function, and its function is not invalidated.
The student: It performs its function.

The Shaykh : how
The student: It performs its function.

The Shaykh : Its example
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes... Correct. "There is no man in the house standing" is correct? "There is no Zayd in the house sitting."
