The Shaykh :"And the third of the one with the hamzat al-wasl *** Make it like the first, as in istuḥli"
The third of the one with the hamzat al-wasl. The grammatical analysis: "Third" is the object of a deleted verb, and it is from the category of "ishtighal" (occupation). "Third" is a noun with a relative clause, and "which" is the noun to which it is added. "With hamz" is a preposition and its object, attached to a deleted relative clause for the relative pronoun. "With hamz" is a noun with a noun added to it, and "wasl" is the noun added to it. "Like the first, make it" — "Like the first" is a preposition and its object, attached to a deleted second object for "make." "Make" is an imperative verb, built on fathah because it is connected to the nūn of emphasis. The nūn is a letter of emphasis. The hā' is a connected pronoun, built on the accusative case, being the first object of "make." "Like istuḥli" is a preposition and its object. He (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Whenever a word is begun with the hamzat al-wasl, its third letter is like its first. What is the meaning of "like the first"?
The student: It is dammed.
The Shaykh : It means: it is dammed, like istuḥli. This is built with the hamzat al-wasl. What is its third letter? The tā'. That is why it was dammed. Istaghfar?
The student: Istughfir.
The Shaykh : Istughfir. Intiqam?
The student: Intuqim.
The Shaykh : Intuqim. Ittaraḍ?
The student: Ittaraḍ.
The Shaykh : Ittaraḍ. And on this basis, analogize. Every word begun with the hamzat al-wasl has its third letter dammed, so it is made like the first. What is the original form of istuḥli?
The student: Istahla.
The Shaykh : Istahla. Okay, intuḥi?
The student: Intaḥa.
The Shaykh : Intaḥa is its original form, but we dam the third letter because it is begun with the hamzat al-wasl. Iṣṭafa?
The student: Iṣṭufi.
The Shaykh : Iṣṭufi. Irtaqā?
The student: Irtaqī.
The Shaykh : Irtaqī. And on this basis, analogize.
The questioner : The first is dammed, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The hamza is dammed, istuḥli. "Make it like the first, as in istuḥli" And Allah knows best.
