Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said:
"And the second following the ta of passivity *** make it like the first without dispute"
The second: it is in the accusative case due to engagement (ishtighal), and that is because "make" is engaged with its pronoun regarding its direct object. Do you know what the chapter of engagement is?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It is when the object precedes and its verb is engaged with its pronoun regarding it, and for this reason it is called engagement. So if the haa were not present, we would say: the second is the object of "make," not of a deleted verb explained by what follows. And his saying "following": it is a description of "the second," also in the accusative case. It is permissible for you to say "and the second following," meaning: not in the accusative case, but the stronger position is the accusative, and two things strengthen it: the first is that the verb is a request, and the accusative is stronger in a request, and the second is that it is conjoined to verbal sentences, not nominal sentences? Verbal sentences, so the accusative is stronger. And the nominative is permissible as I told you. Okay, we said: the second is the object of a deleted verb explained by what follows, following: a description, and the ta of the object belongs to "following" because "following" is an active participle in the position of the definite article. Ta of passivity: ta is a preposition, and passivity is the object of the preposition, in the genitive case due to the preposition. Like the first, make it: like the first: a preposition and its object, connected to "make." And "make": a command verb built on sukun, and its subject is hidden obligatorily, estimated as: you. And the haa is the first object of "make." And where is the second object?
The student: Like the first.
The Shaykh : Like the first, without dispute. The ba: a preposition, and la: a noun in the genitive case by the ba, but its case is transferred to the noun after it, because "la" is in the form of a particle, so the case markers do not affect it. If someone said: we will make "la" a noun and it will be added to "dispute" because "la" here means: other, i.e., without dispute, if someone said that, his saying would not be far off, but the famous one is the first. Okay, he says (may Allah have mercy on him):
"And the second following the ta of passivity *** make it like the first"
Is the first in the damma case or the accusative case?
The student: Damma.
The Shaykh : Damma. Okay, so what is the ta of passivity? The ta of passivity is: the one that is in a passive verb for what preceded, i.e., was affected by it. You say: I taught him, so he learned. The ta here?
The student: Passive.
The Shaykh : Passive. And you also say: I pushed him, so he was pushed, he is pushed. And its examples are many. So the second that follows the ta of passivity, make it like the first, i.e., make it in the damma case. How do we build the verb for the passive of "learn"?
The student: Tu'allim.
The Shaykh : Tu'allim. Look, the one after the ta became in the damma case. Okay, and how do we build "he was pushed"?
The student: Intuhi.
The Shaykh : Intuhi, like this? Intuhi from the place, he is pushed from the place. He says:
"And the second following the ta of passivity *** make it like the first without dispute"
Let's look at the word "he is pushed," it does not have a ta of passivity, correct, it does not have a ta of passivity, but you say: learned, past tense, tu'allim, pushed, intuhi, be patient O servant of Allah, intuhi from the place. So here we have the hamza in the damma case, the noon is sakin, and the ta is in the damma case. Its original form is "he was pushed from the place," but when it was built for the passive, we said: intuhi from the place. But it will come to us that it is from the third section, "And the third with the hamza of connection"
The student: Our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Be patient, my brother, be patient. He says: what comes after it is like tu'allim the knowledge. Okay, if you say "he was arrogant about the truth," you say?
The student: Tukubbar.
The Shaykh : Tukubbar about the truth. Okay.
"And the second following the ta of passivity *** make it like the first without dispute"
The second: it is in the accusative case due to engagement (ishtighal), and that is because "make" is engaged with its pronoun regarding its direct object. Do you know what the chapter of engagement is?
