The Shaykh : If it is by an action, an adverb, or a preposition and its noun, the action is not invalidated. If it is by something other than these, the action is invalidated. An example of this is: "Do you say Zayd is departing?" meaning "Do you think Zayd is departing?" If you intended the verb "to say," the correct expression would be "Do you say Zayd is departing?" (with nominative case), but you are now asking him whether he thinks this or not, so you say: "Do you say Zayd is departing?" meaning "Do you think he is departing?" Now, this fulfills the conditions. If you said, "Do you say your food is Zayd eating?" is this correct or not?
The student: It is correct.
The Shaykh : It is not correct, or is it? We ask: is "eating" an action or not an action? It is an action, an action for the second object. The author says "or an action," meaning it is permissible and does not invalidate the action. Accordingly, you say: "Do you say your food is Zayd eating?" meaning "Do you think Zayd is eating your food?" Is the expression here sound or not? It is sound, because we separated with what? With the action. The action is not foreign to the governing verb. The action is not foreign to the governing verb. Therefore, separation with it is permissible. If you said, "Do you say in the mosque Zayd is sleeping," yes.
The student: Correct.
The Shaykh : Is it correct and does it not invalidate the action?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Why? Because the separator is a preposition and its noun. If you said, "Do you say at your place 'Umar is sitting," is it correct?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Because the separator is a preposition and its noun. Yes, the separator is an adverb. If you said: "Do you say Zayd brought 'Umar standing"
The student: It is not valid.
The Shaykh : It is not correct. Why? Because the separator is foreign and is neither an adverb nor a preposition and its noun.
He said: "And I have made 'qawl' (saying) like 'zann' (thinking) absolutely", for example: "Yes, and I have made 'qawl' like 'zann' absolutely, according to Salim, for example: Say, 'This one is fearful.'"
We return to explaining the previous verse. He says: "If it is followed by an interrogative and not separated". We said "not separated from the governing verb," and also "not separated from the interrogation." It is not separated from the interrogation that preceded the verb. So if you said: "Is your food? Yes, is your food? You say Zayd is eating."
The student: It is not correct.
The Shaykh : "Is your food? You say Zayd is eating" is correct because it is with the object. "At your place? You say Zayd is sitting" is correct because it is with an adverb.
"In the house? You say Zayd is sitting" is correct because it is with a preposition and its noun. Now.
The student: It is correct.
