Reading the words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): "The ḥāl, the ḥāl, and the description, its excellence is raised *** making sense in a ḥāl, like 'I spent a dirham.'"

The student: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The ḥāl
"The ḥāl, the ḥāl, and the description, its excellence is raised *** making sense in a ḥāl, like 'I spent a dirham'".

The Shaykh : In a ḥāl.
The student: It is with a nunation for me.

The Shaykh : No mistake.
The student: "Making sense in a ḥāl, like 'I spent a dirham'
And its being a moving derivative *** is predominant, but it is not obligatory".

The Shaykh : Obligatory.
The student: It is with a kasrah for me.

The Shaykh : There are two views regarding its opposition; the apparent one is with a fathah, and for you it is with a fathah and a kasrah.
The student: "And stasis is frequent".

The Shaykh : But we prefer the fathah so that it agrees with his word: derivative, yes.
The student: "And stasis is frequent in 'price' and in *** one who indicates interpretation without effort
Like 'I sold him a mudd for so much, hand to hand *** and Zayd was like a lion, meaning like a lion'".

The Shaykh : Yes.
