The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
This chapter, as we have previously mentioned, explains to us that verbs are divided into two categories: intransitive and transitive. Ibn Malik mentioned the sign of the transitive verb as being what? Come on.
The student: The sign of the transitive verb?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: For example.
The Shaykh : Its sign. We do not want an example, because if the question were "for example," then give an example. But for the sign, Jamal?
The student: That it reaches its object without a preposition.
The Shaykh : We want what Ibn Malik mentioned.
The student: I did not attend the previous lesson.
The Shaykh : Well, you did not attend, but you are excused, yes?
The student: That the haa of the verbal noun attaches to the verb.
The Shaykh : What?
The student: That the haa of the verbal noun attaches to the verb.
The Shaykh : The haa of the verbal noun?
The student: Other than the verbal noun.
The Shaykh : The haa other than the verbal noun, the haa other than the verbal noun. Good, what is its example?
The student: Its example is: I closed the door.
The Shaykh : I closed the door. And it is better to say "the door," because there was nothing preceding it to necessitate the accusative case. The door, I closed it. Good, if I said: "The coming, I came," does this indicate that the verb is transitive?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : Why? The question is for Khalid?
The student: Because "the coming" is a verbal noun or a noun of origin.
The Shaykh : A verbal noun, a verbal noun with a mim.
The student: Yes, a verbal noun with a mim, and the haa of the verbal noun with a mim is shared by both transitive and intransitive verbs.
The Shaykh : Meaning, the haa here is the haa of the verbal noun, so it does not indicate the transitivity of the verb. Good, that is complete. It has a second sign, Sa'd?
The student: Its attachment to the haa other than the verbal noun.
The Shaykh : This is what Ibn Malik said, and we have finished with it. It has a second sign.
The student: Intransitive?
The Shaykh : Transitive.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, 'Ubayd?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No.
The student: That a passive form can be derived from it.
The Shaykh : Correct, that a passive noun form can be derived from it without a preposition, yes? No, no, it is transitive. Good, what is an example of that?
The student: I did not attend.
The Shaykh : I did not attend. Bin 'Awad?
The student: Yes, for example, you say: I hit him, so he is hit.
The Shaykh : Hit. We understand from "hit" that it is transitive because a passive noun form is derived from it without a preposition, is that right?
The student: Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : Good, did Khalid speak? Yes, intransitive or transitive?
The student: Intransitive.
The Shaykh : Intransitive? Does a passive noun form not derive from it?
The student: A preposition is necessary.
The Shaykh : How do you say it?
The student: Spoken about.
The Shaykh : Spoken about, correct.
The student: We spoke.
The Shaykh : "We spoke" does not make it transitive; "we spoke about him" is transitive,[Al-Baqarah 2:253]
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Which one?
The questioner : The first sign.
The Shaykh : It is not valid, no, no, this is the haa of the verbal noun, this is the haa of the verbal noun.
The questioner : The passive noun.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The passive noun?
The Shaykh : Spoken to. Good, if someone asks: What is the benefit of knowing the transitive and intransitive verbs? We said: So that when we find the object missing, we know that it is omitted. If the verb is transitive and we do not find the object, we know that it is omitted. This is in general terms. In specific terms, regarding the names of Allah, if the name is transitive, faith in it is not complete except with three things: the name, the attribute, and the effect, which is the ruling. And if it is intransitive, faith in the name and the attribute is sufficient. So, for example, is "the Living" intransitive or transitive?
The student: Intransitive.
The Shaykh : Yes, so it is from "to live," so it is intransitive. Faith in it is complete when we believe in the name and the attribute it indicates. "The Hearing"?
The student: Transitive.
The Shaykh : Transitive, so we must believe in the name and the attribute the name indicates, and the third?
The student: The trace.
The Shaykh : The effect, that He hears. So He is "The Hearing" by hearing with which He hears. So we have a benefit in this: The first benefit is that if we do not find the object in a transitive verb, what do we say?
The student: It is omitted.
The Shaykh : We say: It is omitted. As for the intransitive verb, it has no object. The second benefit regarding the names of Allah is that if it is intransitive, faith in the name and the attribute is sufficient, and if it is transitive, faith in the name, the attribute, and the effect is necessary.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
