Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said, clarifying the change in the form of the verb that is built for the one whose doer is not named, he said: "So the first of the verb, you make it a shaddah" First: an object placed before the verb, and it is attached to the verb, and "make it a shaddah": a command verb, and the silent nun is for emphasis, and for this reason the command verb is built on fathah with it, "make it a shaddah," but the nun of emphasis here is a light nun, and there is a heavy, shaddah nun, and the two nuns came together in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Yusuf 12:32] Good. "So the first of the verb, you make it a shaddah" So "make it a shaddah": a command verb built on fathah because it is connected to the light nun of emphasis, and the nun is a letter of emphasis, and the doer is hidden obligatorily, its estimate is: you. "And the connected to the last, you break it" The waw: a letter of conjunction, and it is from the chapter of conjoining a sentence to a sentence, and "the connected": an object placed before, "break it" is built on a fathah estimated on its last letter, what prevented its appearance?
The student: The rhyme.
The Shaykh : Considering the rhyme, meaning the end of the verse, and "to the last": a preposition and its object, related to "the connected," and "break it": a command verb built on sukun, and the doer is a hidden pronoun, its estimate is: you. Yes. "In past like was connected" "In past": a preposition and its object, related to "break it," "like was connected": the kaf is a preposition, and "was connected" is a noun in the genitive case by the kaf, and its sign of genitive is the kasrah estimated on its last letter, what prevented its appearance is the narration. Ibn Malik says: The first of the verb, do you break it or make it a shaddah? The first of the verb, make it a shaddah, whether it is past, present, or command.
The student: The command, no.
The Shaykh : Hm?
The student: The command does not apply.
The Shaykh : The command does not apply, so whether it is past or present, it must be made a shaddah, so you say "The lesson was understood," correct?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : "The lesson is understood," correct?
The student: Correct.
The Shaykh : Good, "Zayd was honored"?
The student: Correct.
The Shaykh : "Zayd is honored"?
The student: Correct.
The Shaykh : "Zayd is honored."
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Pay attention, O Shaykh! "Zayd is honored."
The student: An error.
Another student: Correct.
The Shaykh : There is no god but Allah, "Zayd is honored"?
The student: Built for the known.
The Shaykh : So it is not correct, meaning: The man honors Zayd, clear? Good, how is it correct to say "is honored" while the context is for the built for the one whose doer is not named, because its last letter is not open, because the present tense must have its letter before the last one open, its first letter is made a shaddah and the letter before the last is opened, otherwise it would not be built for the one whose doer is not named. Good, so the first of the verb is made a shaddah in all cases, whether it is past or present, the last of the verb in the present is inflected, and in the past it is built on what it is, it does not change, what changes is the letter before the last, in the past it is broken, and for this he said: "And the connected to the last, you break it in past like was connected" Where is the connected to the last?
The student: The sad.
The Shaykh : The sad, so instead of saying "was connected" it is said "was connected" with a shaddah on its first letter and a kasrah on the letter before its last, is that so, O Adam? Adam ibn Zakariya? How do we change the form of the past?
The student: Its first letter is made a shaddah.
The Shaykh : What comes after that?
The student: And the letter before its last is broken.
The Shaykh : And the letter before its last is broken, perfect.
he will surely be imprisoned and will be of those debased."
