The Shaykh : Hmm? And it may come for the beginning of times. Now, for example, you say: "I climbed the roof from its base to its top." What is this?
The student: Place.
The Shaykh : Is it the beginning of places or times?
The student: A place.
The Shaykh : The beginning of places. Do you know grammar from its alif to its ya?
The student: Likewise.
The Shaykh : And what? Is that so?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Now, does Ghanim know grammar from where? Ah, from its beginning to where?
The student: From its beginning to its beginning.
The Shaykh : From its beginning to its beginning is not right. From its beginning?
The student: From its ya to its alif.
The Shaykh : From its ya to its alif, meaning in reverse. Now, if Allah wills, you will be pleased with it. With the power of Allah, perhaps he will become the imam of the people of Qasim in grammar, just as al-Kisa'i became the imam of the people of Kufa. Yes?
