Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner :"The actual name that occurred", what is it?
The Shaykh : The actual name that occurred is the one about which one is occupied; what is the thing about which one is occupied? The pronoun of the name about which one is occupied has occupied it. So he says: "Like a connection with the actual name that occurred", which is the one about which one is occupied. Is it not the case that the pronoun of the one about which one is occupied is directly connected to the verb?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : This means that if the pronoun of the one about which one is occupied comes in a description of something other than the one about which one is occupied, it is like a connection with the actual name.
