The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
It was previously established that all prepositions agree in their function, meaning: in making the word they precede genitive, and they differ in their specificity. Some are specific to explicit nouns, some apply to both explicit nouns and pronouns, and some are specific to a certain type of explicit noun. Is that not so? Is "rub" specific?
The student: To the indefinite.
The Shaykh : To the indefinite, and the taa is specific to Allah and "Rabb" (Lord). And "mudh" and "mundh"?
The student: To time.
The Shaykh : They are specific to time.
"And specify time with mudh and mundh"
It was previously established that those specific to explicit nouns are seven, seven prepositions: mudh, mundh, hatta, the kha, the waw, rub, and the taa. Seven prepositions. And some of them may come with pronouns, meaning: they make the pronoun genitive. For example: "rubba-hu" (often him) a youth, even though it does not enter except on an indefinite noun. And like their saying: "ka-ha," meaning: instead of saying "this is like this," he says "this is like it." And likewise, instead of saying "this is like this," he says "this is like he." What is "ka-hu," "ka-h"? As for the meanings, the author began with the specificity of these prepositions, each with a meaning.
