The student: Shaykh, when we parsed the line of his saying: "Like the omission of what was presented as an answer or confined"?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: "As an answer" as a circumstantial phrase (hal).
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The one parsing it here made it the second object of "was presented." Are both interpretations permissible, or?
The Shaykh : It appears that it is a circumstantial phrase (hal) or an object for the sake of which (maf'ul min ajlihi), meaning: like the omission of what was presented for the sake of being an answer.
The student: But does "was presented" (saqa) take two objects, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : But the meaning does not hold up. "He presented it as an answer to such and such." Did this happen to the answer? The object (maf'ul bihi) means that upon which the actor's action falls. It does not hold up, it does not hold up. But yes, if we said something else like this: "It was presented as an answer to such and such," meaning: that the action fell upon it. As for this, Ibn Malik does not intend that the action fell upon it. Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
