The questioner : A question, O Shaykh, regarding the author's statement: "Those resembling laysa." We said that they resemble laysa and not kana because... What is also said, O Shaykh...
The Shaykh : No, no.
The questioner : I have a difficulty with the "la" that negates the genus and the "la" that negates.
The Shaykh : The "la" will come to us, yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : I say that the "la" which functions like "laysa" does not negate the genus. If you say "la rajulun qaiman" (not a man standing), you may say "bal rajulan" (but a man). But if I say "la rajulun qaim" (no man is standing), I cannot say "bal rajulan" (but a man), because the phrase "la rajulun qaim" means that no one of the genus of men is standing. For this reason, it is called the negator of the genus. The other one negates the single or the two; the important thing is that the negation in it is restricted.
