Explanation of the words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): "And they made it obligatory, if 'idha' is added to *** the phrases of verbs, like 'hin' if it rises."

The Shaykh :"And they made it obligatory, if 'idha' is added to"
Yes, "they made it obligatory" means: the grammarians, not the Arabs. If it were the Arabs, it would have said: "and they committed to it."
"And they made it obligatory, if 'idha' is added to *** the phrases of verbs"
It means: the grammarians said that it is obligatory to add 'idha' to verbal phrases, to the phrases of verbs. And his saying: "to the phrases of verbs" includes the past and the present tense, and by this, nouns are excluded, so it is not added to the nominal phrase. 'Idha' is not added to nominal phrases; it is only added to a verbal phrase. You say: "If Ramadan comes, then strive in deeds." And you say, for example: "If Zayd stands up, 'Amr stands up," or "I will visit you if Zayd visits you." "I will visit you if Zayd visits you"—what kind of phrase is this? A present-tense verbal phrase. And it is not added to the nominal phrase, which begins with a noun, whether its predicate is a single word—may Allah have mercy on you—or a verbal phrase. So you do not say, for example: "I will come to you if Zayd is standing." "I will come to you if Zayd is standing"—no, that is not correct. And "I will come to you if Zayd stood up." Did you understand, everyone? Good. Its example is: he said: "Like 'hin' if it rises". "Hin" means: be soft and humble. If it rises, if it rises and becomes arrogant. This is actually an example, but it is wisdom. If you see your companion being arrogant, be you humble. Yes, if you see your companion being strict, be you lenient. "Like 'hin' if it rises". What is the evidence?
The student: "If it rises".

The Shaykh :"If it rises". So 'idha' is added to "rises," and the phrase "rises" is a past-tense verb. Did you understand? We said it is not added to the nominal phrase, whether its predicate is a verb or its predicate is a noun. So you do not say: "I will visit you if Zayd visited you," nor "I will visit you if Zayd is with you." Neither is correct. And this is the position of the Basrans, but what is refuted against it is what came in the Qur'an of many examples that contradict that, such as His saying, the Exalted: and so on. Is that so?
The student: There is no problem.

The Shaykh : There is no problem?
The student: It is a definite noun.

The Shaykh : Yes, even if it is a definite noun. The important thing is that the phrase now is nominal. So the Basrans said: these verses and their like are explained by saying that there is an omission in them, and the original speech is: "If the sky burst," "If the stars scattered," "If the sun was rolled up." Yes, did you understand? It is said to them: where is the evidence for this? And therefore, the correct one is the opinion of the Kufans, the second opinion: that it is permissible to add 'idha' to the nominal phrase. There is another aspect in his saying: . It can be answered by other than the Basrans, such that they make this phrase a verbal phrase, and the subject is placed before the verb. For there is an opinion that says: it is permissible to place the subject before the verb. So you say: "The two Zayds stood up," and the original is "Zayd stood up." Did you understand? So in the verse, there are three explanations. According to the position of the Basrans: we say that the sky is the subject of an omitted, estimated verb, estimated as: "If the sky burst." The second opinion: that the sky is the subject of the existing verb, placed before it. The third aspect: that the sky is the beginning of the sentence, and the verbal phrase after it is the predicate. And this is the correct one, because if we make the sky the beginning of the sentence and the phrase "burst" the predicate, it is as if we repeated the sky twice, once with the apparent noun and once with the pronoun. So this is stronger, as if we attributed the verb twice. And this is the correct one: to say that 'idha' is permissible to be added to nominal phrases, no difference between whether it is a nominal phrase whose predicate is a verb or whose predicate is a noun, no difference in that. And Allah knows best. Is that so?
The student: I say: the time is over.

The Shaykh : The time is up.
The student: ... .

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

The Shaykh : How? It is not over, but what is the next lesson? We agreed that some lessons are grammar.
The student: The next lesson is grammar.

The Shaykh : The next lesson is grammar, if Allah wills.
The student: Shaykh, if we tried the study after 'Isha'.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : When?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Which one?
The student: The right of the rules.

The Shaykh : When did we try the study after 'Isha'? Now we are praying. Usually, we establish it for two and a quarter hours. A quarter hour is not enough for us... meaning the prayer and dhikr is a quarter hour.
The student: We complete half an hour for the completion.

The Shaykh : Glory be to You, O Allah, and with Your praise. Did not understand, we start the new lesson now.
