Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And it is common in this chapter to omit the predicate *** if the intended meaning is clear with its omission"
"Shi'a" (It became widespread): a past tense verb
"Fi dha al-bab" (In this chapter): a prepositional phrase attached to it
"Wa isqat" (And the omission): the subject
"Wa al-khabar" (And the predicate): the noun to which it is added
"Idha al-murad" (If the intended): "idha" is a conditional particle
"Al-murad" (The intended): there are three ways or three opinions regarding its grammatical analysis:
The first opinion: that it is a subject placed before its verb, and its verb is "zaha" (appeared)
The second opinion: that it is a nominative subject, and its predicate is "zaha" (appeared)
The third opinion: that it is the subject of an omitted verb, and this verb is explained by what follows it, which is "zaha" (appeared). The last one is the opinion of the Basrans, and the first is the opinion of the Kufans. According to the rule, what is it? The stronger opinion is the stronger one. So, according to the opinion that "al-murad" is a nominative subject, there is evidence for the permissibility of adding "idha" to nominal sentences. And according to the opinion that "al-murad" is the subject of the verb mentioned after it, there is evidence for the permissibility of placing the subject before the verb. Yes, and this is what we choose, the easiest one, and it has examples in the Qur'an
[Al-Inshiqaq 84:1] How do you analyze "al-sama'" (the sky)? According to the opinion of the Basrans, it would be the subject of an omitted verb, the estimation being "if the sky split." Now, according to the opinion of the Kufans, "al-sama'" would be a nominative subject, and "inshaqa" (split) is a past tense verb, the "ta" is for femininity, the subject is hidden, and the sentence "inshaqa" is the predicate of the nominative subject. And according to the second way, he says "al-sama'" is a nominative subject
The student: The subject.
The Shaykh : Yes, "al-sama'" is a subject placed before, and "inshaqa" is a past tense verb, the "ta" is for femininity, and its subject is what? Its subject is "al-sama'" placed before. Its subject is "al-sama'" placed before
