The example that passed just now: "Inna Zaydan lahu qaim." We said that "hu" has no grammatical position. If we said "Inna Zaydan qaim hu," would it become an emphasis for Zayd?

The questioner : The example from just now: "Inna Zaydan lahu qaim." Shaykh, we said that "hu" has no grammatical position.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : Shaykh, if we said "Inna Zaydan," "Inna Zaydan qaim hu," it would become an emphasis for Zayd.

The Shaykh : No, it is not an emphasis for Zayd; it is an emphasis for the hidden pronoun in "qaim."

The questioner : Okay, it is an emphasis for the hidden pronoun in "qaim. If we said "Inna Zaydan lahu qaim," we said it has no grammatical position. Why don't we say "Inna Zaydan hu al-qaim"? Is it an emphasis for itself, "hu al-qaim"?

The Shaykh : No, no. The pronoun here refers to Zayd. The pronoun here refers to Zayd. And we have mentioned to you that one of the benefits of the separating pronoun is emphasis.

The questioner : Yes, yes, O Shaykh...

The Shaykh : But even so, it has no grammatical position, because there are emphatic particles that have no grammatical position.
There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner ما جاءنا من بشير ولا نذير
[Al-Ma'idah 5:19]
"Min" is emphatic, and "Bashir" is the subject.

The questioner : It has no grammatical position.

The Shaykh : It has no grammatical position. Yes.
