Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
I think we were discussing the first verse. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The Object for the Sake of Which". We mentioned that there are five objects: the absolute object, the object with it, and the object for the sake of which. What comes after that?
The student: With it.
The Shaykh : And with it.
The student: And with him.
The Shaykh : And with him, and it was exemplified by this verse:
"I struck a blow at Abu 'Amr on the day he came, *** And I walked along the Nile, fearing your punishment of me"
Ya Ghanim? Read the verse.
The student: It is not there.
The Shaykh : ...
The student: I did not attend.
The Shaykh : Okay, the Object for the Sake of Which is one of the five objects. It is called the Object for the Sake of Which, or the Object for the Purpose of, or the Object on Account of. That is to say, the expressions of the grammarians differ regarding it; some say "Object for the Sake of Which," some say "Object on Account of," and some say "Object for the Purpose of," but the meaning is the same. What is the Object on Account of? It is understood from the author's words when he said:
"The Object for the Sake of Which is the verb noun if *** It clarifies a cause"
So it is the verb noun in the accusative case that clarifies the cause of the action. The verb noun in the accusative case that clarifies the cause of the action. An example is: I stood up out of respect for you. I stood up out of respect. "Respect" is a verb noun. The verb of which action?
