The Shaykh : He said:
" 'ala is for elevation "
And what is the meaning of elevation? The height of one thing above another, and this is very clear. Therefore, 'ala itself contains the letters of elevation, does it not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : It contains the 'ayn, the lam, and the alif. For example, you say? Huh?
The student :[Taha 20:5].
The Shaykh :[Taha 20:5] So 'ala here is for height, and you say, for example: the water is on the roof, and you say: the sky is above the earth. Does this height require direct contact, or does it not require direct contact?
The student: It does not require it.
The Shaykh : Direct contact is not required; it may be direct, and it may be indirect, is that not so?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then, height may be physical, and it may be conceptual. You say, for example: Who is over this group? Who is over this group means: Who is the ruler over them? Is this height physical or conceptual?
The student: Spiritual.
The Shaykh : It is conceptual, because he is not physically above them. And you say: I rode on the beast, or on the car; this is direct height. Good, he said:
" and the meaning of fi and 'an " What is the meaning of fi and 'an? It means: and for the meaning of fi, 'ala is for elevation, and "meaning" is conjoined to his saying: " for elevation " It means: and 'ala, and for the meaning of fi, meaning: and 'ala comes with the meaning of fi. They gave as an example for this His saying, Exalted is He:[Al-Qasas 28:15] They said: The meaning is "in a time of negligence of its people." And the meaning of 'an comes, yes, and the meaning of fi and 'an means: that fi comes with the meaning of 'an.
The student: 'ala comes.
The Shaykh : 'ala comes " 'ala is for elevation and the meaning of fi and 'an " It means: that 'ala comes with the meaning of 'an. And from that is the saying of the poet:
" If the Banu Qushayr are pleased with me "
The meaning is: If the Banu Qushayr are pleased with me. So 'ala comes with the meaning of 'an. Then he said:
" With 'an, a transgression, intended by one who has perceived "
"With 'an, a transgression": The grammatical analysis of the hemistich "with 'an": preposition and genitive, attached to "intended." "Transgression": an object placed before "intended." Yes, and "one who has perceived": "one" is the subject, and "has perceived" is the sentence that is its predicate, or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : And regarding 'ala, I think it was a mistake. "With 'an, a transgression," the "an" we forgot to analyze.
" With 'an, a transgression " "Intended": past verb, and "one": subject, and "has perceived": the preposition and genitive, the verb is the relative clause, it has no place in the grammar, meaning: intended the one who has perceived. And "intended" means "aimed at." -It appears that sleep has come to you- "With 'an": preposition and genitive, attached to "intended," because the whole thing is the "an" of the verse, this is all 'ayn. "With 'an": preposition and genitive, attached to "intended." "Transgression": an object placed before what?
The student: To "intended."
The Shaykh : To "intended." "Intended" is a past verb, and "one": a relative pronoun, the subject, and "has perceived": a verbal sentence, the relative clause, it has no place in the grammar. And the order of the verse is: "Intended the one who has perceived, a transgression, with 'an." What is the meaning of "intended"?
The student: Aimed at.
The Shaykh : That is: aimed at and intended. Meaning: that "an" is among its meanings the transitive one. The transitive one means the passing of one thing by another and its separation from it, this is the transgression. Its example is:[Al-Kahf 18:82] And they say: I shot the arrow from the bow, meaning: passing the bow, yes.
" And it may come in the place of after and on "
" May come " What is it that comes? 'an " Comes in the place of after ".
The student: 'ala.
The Shaykh : 'an, 'an, we finished with 'ala, "with 'an, a transgression."
The student: When did we finish with it?
The Shaykh : We finished with 'ala in his saying: " With 'an, a transgression " This second hemistich is speaking about 'an, look at the first one.
" 'ala is for elevation and the meaning of fi and 'an " It ended. These are the meanings of 'ala: elevation, the meaning of fi, the meaning of 'an, three meanings, we finished with them. This is regarding 'ala. We come, he said:
" With 'an, a transgression, intended by one who has perceived " This is a new hemistich for the meanings of 'an, its meaning is the transitive one, did you understand, Ghannam?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Very well.
