The Shaykh : No, that is not correct. "What a noble one is Zayd, except 'Umar, except Bakr." If you want to make 'Umar the object of "noble," you say: "What a noble one is Zayd, except 'Umar, except Bakr." You may place it before, or leave it as an exception; either way, it is not valid. This construction is an error.
