The Shaykh : No,Riyad as-Salihin 1274 Jami` at-Tirmidhi 866Da'if (Darussalam) Settle down, my brothers. The *kaf* is a preposition, and the genitive case means that the end of the noun is kasrah (short i). In the hadith, “as on the day” — why is it not in the genitive case? Because it is attached to a built noun, so the most likely ruling for it is that it is built. The most likely ruling for it is that it is built. So we say: *kaf* is a preposition, *yawm* (day) is an adverb of time built on fathah (short a) in the position of the genitive case by the *kaf*. *Waladta* (you bore) is a verb and a hidden subject, and an object. And *yawm* is the attached noun, and *waladta* is what it is attached to. Is it permissible to say: “He returns from his sins as on the day his mother bore him” with the genitive case?
The student: It is permissible.
The Shaykh : It is permissible, but it is the weaker position. For this reason, he said:
“And choose for us the one built on fathah”. Choose what is the stronger position. Now, if I said: “This is a day on which the students succeed.”
The student: It is permissible, but it is the weaker position.
The Shaykh : Is it permissible?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : How, my brothers?
The student: Because he said: “Choose”.
The Shaykh : No, no, he did not say: “Choose”.
The student: He said: “And whoever builds it, he will not be distinguished”.
The Shaykh : He said: “And whoever builds it, he will not be distinguished”. For this reason, he said: “And build”.
The Shaykh : No,
Whoever performs Hajj (pilgrimage) and does not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commits sin, nor disputes unjustly (during Hajj), then he returns from Hajj as pure and free from sins as on the day on which his mother gave birth to him.
من حج فلم يرفث ولم يفسق رجع من ذنوبه كيوم ولدته أمهas free of his sins as the day his mother bore him
رجع من ذنوبه كيوم ولدته أمهAs on the day his mother bore him
كيومَ ولدته أمهThe student: It is permissible.
