Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Or a transient state, or the passive of the transitive verb" Yes, "or a transient state," or: a conjunction, and "transient state" is conjoined to "purity," meaning: or it necessitated a transient state. "Or" is a conjunction, and "passive" is a past tense verb, and it is conjoined to the relative clause in his saying: "And what necessitated purity" meaning: and what necessitated purity, or what was the passive of the transitive verb. The passive of the transitive verb is for one. "The transitive verb" is the object, and "for one" is attached to "transitive verb." "As in 'he stretched it, so it stretched'" The "kaf" is a preposition, and "he stretched it, so it stretched" is all a noun in the genitive case by the "kaf," because it is on the assumption of: like this example. The prevention of its appearance is due to the occupation of the place by the movement of narration. He says: likewise, or it necessitated a transient state. Everything that necessitates a transient state, and the meaning of "transient state" is: the attribute that appears and disappears, such as: anger, sadness, illness, is that correct?
The student: Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : Okay, is it free?
The student: Like it.

The Shaykh : Like it, joy.
The student: And satisfaction.

The Shaykh : Yes, many examples. Everything that appears and disappears is intransitive. Okay, laughter?
The student: Intransitive.

The Shaykh : Weeping?
The student: Intransitive.

The Shaykh : Hunger?
The student: Likewise.

The Shaykh : So too?
The student: It is a nature, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : No, hunger is not a nature. It appears to be transient. A nature remains, but this is transient. We say, what is its cure? Hunger? Eating. Okay, like fullness. The second: "Or the passive of the transitive verb" This is also one of the rules that the passive of the transitive verb is for one. And the meaning of "it was passive to it" is that the transitive verb became influential in it, meaning: it did not occur as a result of influence. This is the passive. Yes, for example: "He stretched it, so it stretched" He tightened it, so it tightened. He hit it, so it was hit. Yes?
The student: He angered it, so it became angry.

The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: He angered it, so it became angry.

The Shaykh : He angered it, so it became angry. He angered him, so he became angry. But this is also one of the verbs of disposition. Okay, he says: "As in 'he stretched it, so it stretched'" What does "it was passive to it" mean? It means: it became a result of it, and the first became influential in it. And his saying: "Or the passive of the transitive verb *** for one, as in 'he stretched it, so it stretched'" If it is passive to a verb that is transitive to two, what is the ruling?
The student: Like it.

The Shaykh : It is transitive to one, so the passive now, if it is passive to what is transitive to one, it is intransitive, and if it is passive to what is transitive to two, it takes one object. Okay, what is its example? I taught the student grammar, so he learned it. Correct?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : I taught the student grammar. This takes two objects. "So he learned it" takes one object. So now, the passive of what is transitive to one is intransitive, and the passive of what is transitive to two is transitive to one. Okay, then he said.
The student: May we ask?

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: The time is up, may we ask?

The Shaykh : Okay, is the question in grammar?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Okay, let the first one go.
The student: O Shaykh, does "it does not necessitate purity" mean it is intransitive?

The Shaykh : Yes.
