The student: Is this division applicable if the exceptions are postponed?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: What if we say that they are all in the accusative case?
The Shaykh : No, that is not possible. There is no obstacle, but one of them must be in the nominative case originally. It is better to follow the case of one of them.
The student: Is there evidence for this?
The Shaykh : The Arabic language.
The student: It is not mentioned in the Qur'an.
The Shaykh : It is not necessary. For example, if you say, "The people did not stand except Zayd" (nominative), it is more correct than saying, "The people did not stand except Zayd" (accusative)... the Arabic language. That is why we mentioned...[An-Nisa 4:66] all by following the case.
The student: This is based on the first rule.
The Shaykh : It is based on the fact that one of them must follow. And when it follows, as we told you previously in the last session, if it follows or is applied with the removal of the negation, the remaining exceptions become as if they were from an affirmative statement, as if they were from a complete affirmative sentence. That is why they must be in the accusative case.
