Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: And if
The Shaykh : conditional
The student: Okay, "steadfast"
The Shaykh : verb
The student: A verb in the jussive mood
The Shaykh : It is not a verb in the jussive mood; it is a condition, but the particle does not put it in the jussive mood
The student: We parse "steadfast"
The Shaykh : "Steadfast" is a past tense verb, and the waw is the subject
The student: "Steadfast"
The Shaykh : Yes, "steadfast" is a past tense verb, and the waw is the subject
The student: ... and if they were to be steadfast
The Shaykh : It is not "were to be steadfast," okay, read it
The student: ...
The Shaykh : This is what we are dealing with
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: I wanted to tell you, Shaykh, just
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: ... we said if the chapter is...
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning that "in" and its sisters have no function
The student: No, no... if it is built upon what follows it, like the subject and predicate, it is built upon "in" and "was"
The Shaykh : By Allah, what I understand is that when we finish a chapter, we review it
The student: We have only reviewed the subject and predicate
The Shaykh : That is enough, leave it, yes, everyone is on their own
The student: ...
The Shaykh : However it works out... review
The student: This rule...
Another student: You broke it in two chapters
The Shaykh : In any case, leave the past tense. Do you want us to review every time we finish a chapter, or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The explanation is one...
The Shaykh : No, no, it is not for the sake of... it is for the sake of discussion, as a reminder, we do not want to explain
The student: You said when this suggestion was made, you said...
The Shaykh : No, no, without recitation, without recitation, huh
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, it is not necessary, it is not necessary. You are now contradicting the discussion. Now you listen, what is this contradiction?!
