The Shaykh : Then he said: "And they broke the case of the subject after a verb of suspension ***"
They broke the case of the subject of what?
The student: The Arabs.
The Shaykh : The Arabs, yes, the Arabs are those who speak and judge the pronunciation as being open, broken, or closed. Yes, he said "they broke," meaning the Arabs, "after a verb of suspension *** with the lam". Even though when "inna" occurs as the object of a verb, what is required in it? When "inna" occurs as the object of the verb, the opening is required in it; its hamzah is opened. So when the verb is suspended with the lam, its breaking is required.
