The Shaykh :"And just as the preceding 'ra'a' (saw), 'naba' (informed) is a verb that conveys news, *** 'hadha' (narrated), 'anba'a' (informed), and 'kadhaka' (likewise) convey news"
There are five verbs like 'ra'a' (saw). And his saying: "like the preceding 'ra'a'", which one is it? The one that takes three objects. So you say: "I informed Zayd that 'Umar is standing." How many objects does it take?
The student: Three.
The Shaykh : Three. The first is optional, and the second and third are essential. 'Hadha' (narrated): "I narrated to Zayd that 'Umar is coming." The second and third?
The student: Essential.
The Shaykh : And the first is optional. 'Anba'a' (informed): "I informed Zayd that 'Umar is diligent." 'Khabbara' (informed) is like 'akhbara' (informed): "I informed Zayd that 'Umar is understanding." So these five verbs are like the preceding 'ra'a' (saw).
The student: 'Nabba'a' (informed)?
The Shaykh : 'Nabba'a' (informed) is also like 'anba'a' (informed). These five verbs take three objects. The first of them is optional, and the second and third are essential. Now, if I say: "I informed Zayd" without intending to inform him of anything, just "I informed Zayd," does it take three objects? No. And likewise, "I saw Zayd" does not take three objects. So it is as previously mentioned regarding 'ra'a' (saw). And Allah knows best.
The student: The grammatical analysis?
The Shaykh : Yes, he says: And these five, in my opinion, in the explanation, a brief explanation: "And these five do not take three explicit objects unless they are in the passive voice, as in his saying:
A crop of foolishness sprang up, bearing its name, *** offering me strange verses "
And he mentioned... the grammatical analysis, the grammatical analysis, we analyzed up to his saying: "And if they take one object"
