The Shaykh : Then he said: "And they preferred the omission in 'Nayman al-fatat'" Is it "al-hadfa" or "al-hadfu"?
The student: "Al-hadfa."
The Shaykh : "Al-hadfa" is required, because it is the object placed before the verb in "they preferred." And regarding his saying: "in 'Nayman al-fatat'" we say that "fi" is a preposition, and "Nayman al-fatat" is a noun in the genitive case due to "fi," and the sign of its genitive case is a kasrah estimated on its end, the appearance of which was prevented by the occupation of the position by what?
The student: By the imitation.
The Shaykh : The imitation; the imitation prevented its appearance. Now, "they preferred" is the predicate, consisting of a verb and a subject, with the object placed before it. Then he gave the reason, saying: "because the intent of the generic is clear in it" This is a good explanation. In "Nayman al-fatat," the subject here is feminine, is it? Real feminine. And what is the implication of the previous rule? The obligation of the feminine form, because it is a real feminine connected to its verb without a separator. So the implication of that would be to say: "Naymat al-fatatu Hindun." But they preferred to say: "Nayman al-fatat." The words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) suggest that saying "Nayman al-fatat" is better than saying "Naymat al-fatat," because his saying "they preferred" means: they made it good. But they answered that they made it good, not better. And the meaning of his saying "good" is that it is permissible. The better is to say: "Naymat al-fatatu Hindun," this is the better. But it is permissible to say: "Nayman al-fatat." And based on this, attach it to the previous exceptions. It is an exception from the real feminine when the generic is intended, and that is in the case of: "Nayman al-fatat," because you will say, for example: "Nayman al-fatat Hind," this is the original. Hind is intended specifically, and "al-fatat" is intended by what? By the generic. And for this reason, Ibn Malik said: "because the intent of the generic is clear in it" And Allah knows best. Dictation?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : Why?
The student: A new lesson.
The Shaykh : A new lesson?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And the taa with the plural other than the sound plural".
