Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said:
"And what they narrated of the like of rubbah fattan"
Who are the ones who narrated?
The student: The Arabs.
The Shaykh : No, it is narrated from the Arabs, meaning: the grammarians, because it is narrated from the Arabs.
"And what they narrated of the like of rubbah fattan"
"Rubbah fattan nazr"
What is the grammatical analysis of nazr?
The student: It is a predicate (khabar).
The Shaykh : It is the predicate of ma, because ma is a relative pronoun built on sukun in the position of nominative, and rawu is the relative clause, and the operator is omitted, estimated as "and what they narrated."
"Rubbah fattan"
It is in the accusative case, a little. What is the exception to the rule in this example? That it entered upon a pronoun, and rub does not enter except upon the apparent, and a pronoun entered upon it, and rub is restricted to the indefinite, so here it contradicted the analogy in two ways: that it is a pronoun and not apparent, and that it is definite and not indefinite.
"Rubbah fattan *** nazr kadha kaha"
How is kadha kaha?
The student: It is his saying.
The Shaykh : Kadha means: nazr, the saying of the Arabs: kaha. Kaha: the kaf is a preposition, and ha is a pronoun built on sukun in the position of genitive, so here the kaf entered, and what did it enter upon?
The student: Upon a pronoun.
The Shaykh : Upon a pronoun, and it has been mentioned before that the kaf does not enter except upon the apparent name, so here it entered upon a pronoun, but it is as Ibn Malik said: "nazr" and the like of it. What is the like of it? Kaha, the like of it is ka, ka means: the pronoun of the absent, as for the pronoun of the addressed like ka, I do not think it is narrated, I do not think this is narrated, for this reason he said: "and the like of it" meaning: from the pronouns of absence, like ha, or no? Like it because it is a pronoun, and the kaf is not to be except in the apparent name, okay.
"Kadha kaha and the like of it came"

The student: The grammatical analysis of the pronoun.
The Shaykh : It is analyzed as being in the genitive case by the ba, built on dam in the position of genitive, as if it is omitted, and it is omitted, yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, what appears to me... according to what it is interpreted with, if you interpret it with an indefinite, it is indefinite, and if you interpret it with a definite, it is definite.

The Shaykh : With an indefinite, so it is indefinite.
