You said that *ra'a* (saw) from it is of a type that takes one object and a type that takes two objects. If it is visual, *ra'a* meaning "to see" takes one object, and the mental one is what?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Certainly, or otherwise, by assumption?

The questioner : Conjecture, naturally.

The Shaykh : Conjecture, and we see it as near.

The questioner : Certainty.

The Shaykh : Certainty, meaning scientific knowledge. It is known from the context whether, according to the original meaning, it signifies conjecture or knowledge.

The questioner : Conjecture.

The Shaykh : It means assumption,
and think that they are [standing] on something. Unquestionably, it is they who are the liars. ويحسبون أنهم على شيء ألا إنهم هم الكاذبون
[Al-Mujadila 58:18]
but it comes to mean knowledge, for example "I considered piety and generosity the best trade", this is mental, so the important thing is that the context is what determines that.

The questioner : You said that *zama* is believing something to be other than what it is.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : But it was mentioned in a hadith that the Messenger said, "Jibril claimed..." The Messenger of Allah claimed.

The Shaykh : This is not the issue we are discussing; I say it is not the issue we are discussing, because *zama* may be intended to mean saying, "he said so," yes.

The questioner : Shaykh, you said that *ra'a* from it is of a type that takes one object and a type that takes two objects. If the meaning is visual, *ra'a* "saw," it takes one object.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : Okay, and... it means what?

The Shaykh : It means I struck his lung.

The questioner : No, the one that takes two objects?

The Shaykh : It takes two objects: *ra'a* meaning "assumed" or meaning "certainly knew,"
Indeed, they see it [as] distant, إنهم يرونه بعيداً ونراه قريباً
[Al-Ma'arij 70:6]
this contains assumption and knowledge, yes, Khalid.
