Mentioning the states of the *haal* (circumstantial phrase) with its possessor.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, we remain with another detailed issue: the *haal* is either accompanying, past, or estimated. That is, the *haal* is sometimes accompanying, sometimes preceding, and sometimes future. The preceding one is called past. For example, "Zayd came yesterday riding," meaning he is not riding today. "Zayd came riding"—this is the original rule, that the *haal* is concurrent with its possessor, meaning he came while engaged in it. This is the original rule. It may also be in the future, in which case it is estimated. They call it an estimated *haal*, meaning it has not yet happened, but it will happen. Yes, so the result is that they also say: the *haal*, in terms of its connection to its possessor, is sometimes separated from it, in which case it is past; sometimes he is engaged in it; and sometimes it is estimated, not yet arrived. All of this exists in the Arabic language.
The student : Shaykh?

The Shaykh : He said, yes?
