Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, there is a second verse that poses a problem:
So fight, [O Muhammad], in the cause of Allah; you are not held responsible except for yourself. فقاتل في سبيل الله لا تكلف إلا نفسَك
[An-Nisa 4:84]
Even though this is an exception that contains nothing, meaning its apparent meaning is that it is empty, and he did not say: “You are not required to do more than your self” (nafsuka), but rather he said:
you are not held responsible except for yourself لا تكلف إلا نفسَك
[An-Nisa 4:84]
How is the substitute for the subject in the accusative case?
The student: “You are not required” (la tukallafu).

The Shaykh : “But your self” (illa nafsuka), and the verse is
But your own duty إلا نفسَك
Ah?
The student: Is the substitute for the subject the pronoun estimated from the verb?

The Shaykh : The estimated noun, or the hidden one?
The student: Or the hidden one.

The Shaykh : Which one?
The student: “You are not required, you” (la tukallafu anta).

The Shaykh : Which one, but is it the estimated one or the hidden one?
The student: No, the hidden one.

The Shaykh : What do you say?
The student: A hidden pronoun.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. “You are not required, you, but your self,” meaning no one requires you; we only require you to do your own duty.
The student: Shaykh, there is no addition...

The Shaykh : Yes, and what is this?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : ... .
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No, and we distributed it.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Take this, this is for me, and the one you cut out, print on it.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Ah, the beginning does not have... we give it.
The student: There may be some errors in it.

The Shaykh : We will give it to him, if Allah wills. Look, I think there is a little behind these that is not behind, there are mushafs, something.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Ah.
The student: Four.

The Shaykh : Four, these are the beginning, they have the right to become... huh? Take a copy, take... now the people of America will come, they will say America does not have the right, and the people of Egypt, the people of Egypt...
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Ah.
The student: ... .
