Explanation of the Book of Marriage-11

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: "And from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The most wicked among the people in the eye of Allah on the Day of judgment is the men who goes to his wife and she comes to him, and then he divulges her secret. إن شر الناس عند الله منزلة يوم القيامة الرجل يُفضي إلى امرأته وتفضي إليه ، ثم ينشر سرها
Sahih Muslim 1437a
Muslim narrated it"
.
The worst of people إن شر الناس
Evil is the opposite of good, and "sharr" here is a superlative noun, but its hamzah has been omitted, and its original form is "asharr," just as the original form of "khayr" is "akhayr."
So if someone asks: What is the difference between a person saying "this is evil" meaning it is of evil, and "this is good" meaning it is of good, and our saying that "khayr" and "sharr" are superlative nouns? We say: The difference between them is that if there is a preferred one and a one preferred over, then "khayr" and "sharr" are superlative nouns, like His saying, the Exalted:
The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement أصحاب الجنة يومئذ خير مستقرًّا
[Al-Furqan 25:24]
From where? From the companions of the Fire. But His saying, the Exalted:
(7) So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, (8) And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. فمن يعمل مثقال ذرة خيرًا يره * ومن يعمل مثقال ذرة شرًّا يره
[Az-Zalzalah 99:7-8]
This is not a superlative noun. Why? Because there is no preferred one and one preferred over there. So the distinguishing mark is that if there is a preferred one and a one preferred over, then "khayr" means "akhayr" and "sharr" means "asharr," otherwise "khayr" is a noun, a noun of "khayr," a superlative noun, a name for good and evil.
Among the worst people in status before Allah شر الناس منزلة عند الله
Sunan Ibn Majah 3966Da’if (Darussalam)
What do you say about it? Is it from the category of superlatives, or from the category of the name of good and evil?
The student: It is from the category of superlatives.

The Shaykh : It is from the category of superlatives because of his saying:
The worst of people in station شر الناس منزلة
So there is a preferred one and a one preferred over.
Now, what is the grammatical analysis of "al-rajul" (the man), Ya 'Adil?
The student: "Al-rajul" is the subject (mubtada').

The Shaykh : Be patient, Ya 'Adil, be 'Adil and be contemplative.
The student: A noun.

The Shaykh : It is a noun, there is no doubt, but what is its grammatical analysis?
The student: "Al-rajul."

The Shaykh : Yes, no, 'Adil, 'Adil.
The student: Subject.

The Shaykh : A subject?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Where is its predicate (khabar)?
The student: Complete the sentence.

The Shaykh : Complete the sentence, and what does Fu'ad say?
The student: The predicate is
He has intercourse with her يفضي إليه
Ya Shaykh, because... it is a verbal sentence.

The Shaykh : So "al-rajul" is the subject and the predicate is "yufadi ilayhi" (he has intercourse with her), and what does Khalid say?
The student: The predicate of "inna."

The Shaykh : What is the correct one?
The student: The last one.

The Shaykh : The correct one is that it is the predicate of "inna," Ya Shaykh
Narrated 'Aisha: A man asked permission to enter upon the Prophet. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw him, he said, "What an evil brother of his tribe! And what an evil son of his tribe!" When that man sat down, the Prophet (ﷺ) behaved with him in a nice and polite manner and was completely at ease with him. When that person had left, 'Aisha said (to the Prophet). "O Allah's Apostle! When you saw that man, you said so-and-so about him, then you showed him a kind and polite behavior, and you enjoyed his company?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O 'Aisha! Have you ever seen me speaking a bad and dirty language? (Remember that) the worst people in Allah's sight on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people leave (undisturbed) to be away from their evil (deeds)." إن شر الناس عند الله منزلة يوم القيامة الرجل
Sahih al-Bukhari 6032

The student: ... "al-rajul" is the subject.

The Shaykh : Yes, I told you "al-rajul" is the subject so that you understand the hadith, in any case "sharr" is the noun of "inna" and "al-rajul."
The student: Its predicate.

The Shaykh : Its predicate, yes.
