Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, then he said:
"And the nāṣib of it is omitted if it is known *** And its omission may be obligatory"
The nāṣib of it is omitted.
The student: I'rab (grammatical analysis).
The Shaykh : In terms of grammatical analysis, it is omitted: a present tense verb built for the passive, the nāṣib: the substitute for the subject, a substitute for the subject is omitted, hā: the object of the nāṣib, and it is not correct to say that it is a genitive suffix, because the nāṣib here is in the position of the definite article, and a word with the definite article is not made genitive except under certain conditions, and those conditions do not apply to this construction, so hā: is a connected pronoun built on sukun in the position of what?
The student: Accusative.
The Shaykh : In the position of accusative as an object, "if it is known": is a conditional clause, and its analysis is clear, and it is a condition in his saying: "And the nāṣib of it is omitted", and "may be": the wāw: is a conjunction, and qad is for realization or for minimization?
The student: For diminution.
The Shaykh : For minimization, because the default for qad when it enters a present tense verb is that it is for minimization, unlike when it enters a past tense verb, in which case it is for realization, and our saying that the default for the one entering a present tense verb is that it is for minimization, there is an exception to the default, Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nur 24:64], and this qad is for realization, likewise His saying: [Al-Ahzab 33:18] Is this qad here?
The student: For realization.
The Shaykh : For realization, but the default is that qad when it enters a present tense verb is for minimization, as in the author's words here "And its omission may be obligatory" All right, the nāṣib of it is omitted, Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) says: If the nāṣib of the extra word is omitted, and this is common, if someone said to you: Whom did you honor? and you said: Zayd, what was omitted?
The student: The nāṣib of Zayd.
The Shaykh : The "a'ram" that put Zayd in the accusative, "And its omission" meaning: the omission of the nāṣib of the extra word may be obligatory, it is necessary, and that is in the context of warning, such as their saying: Beware of you and the lion, so the verb here is obligated to be omitted, it is necessary to omit it, likewise in the chapter of emphasis, if you say: Zayd, I honored him, so here it is obligatory to omit the nāṣib of the extra word, which is Zayd, and the reason it is obligatory to omit it is that the existing verb is a substitute for it, and the original and its substitute are not combined, for this reason it is an error for some grammarians to say that in "Zayd, I honored him" the implied meaning is: I honored Zayd, I honored him, this is not correct, because if you say: I honored Zayd, I honored him, you have combined the substitute and the substituted, but it is said the implied meaning is: I honored Zayd, to make the expression correct, "And its omission may be obligatory".
"And the nāṣib of it is omitted if it is known *** And its omission may be obligatory"
The nāṣib of it is omitted.

Already He knows that upon which you [stand]
قد يعلم ما أنتم عليهAlready Allah knows the hinderers among you
قد يعلم الله المعوّقين منكمThe student: For realization.
