Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author said: "And as for the kasrah, it is the sign of the accusative case in the sound feminine plural". What is the sound feminine plural? We said: It is what indicates two or more, by adding the alif and the taa. It was said: along with the soundness of the singular's construction. It was said: It is what is pluralized with an added alif and taa to its singular, along with the soundness of the singular's construction. What is pluralized with an added alif and taa to its singular, along with the soundness of the singular's construction. Yes.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes… Okay, for example, you say: "I saw the Muslim women" or "I honored the Muslim women." We take "I honored"; "I honored" is a verb and a subject. "The Muslim women" is the object, in the accusative case with a kasrah instead of a fathah, because it is a sound feminine plural. And Allah the Exalted said:[At-Tahrim 66:5] Okay, all of them are in the accusative case with a kasrah. Okay, it is said "Arafat" with a kasrah, and it is said "Arafah," which is the name of a standing place in Hajj. If "Arafat" is said, what has it become?
The student: It is annexed.
The Shaykh : Are there many Arafats, yes or no? There is only one Arafat. So it is not a sound feminine plural, but it is annexed to the sound feminine plural. And based on this, we say: What is parsed like the sound feminine plural but does not meet the conditions is annexed. Okay, Adhr'at is a land in Syria. Yes.
The student: It is annexed.
The Shaykh : Is it annexed or a plural? It is annexed to the sound feminine plural. Okay, Samidat, Samidat.
The student: A feminine plural.
The Shaykh : Yes, is it a plural or annexed?
The student: A plural.
The Shaykh : Why?
The student: A plural, Samidat.
The Shaykh : A plural of Samidah. Okay, okay. If someone asks: How do you say "a plural of Samidah" while he says "Samidat"? We say: Yes, we did not do anything to the singular. We did not do anything to the singular; rather, we added the alif and the taa to it. The alif and the taa. But it may be that there is no alif and taa. You deleted "Samidah" and I said "Samidat." I deleted it. What is the answer? I say: I did not delete it, because the taa in the singular was placed in the plural, but we made it after the alif. We made it after the alif. The taa of the plural is open and not connected. The taa of the singular is connected. Okay.

Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allah], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling - [ones] previously married and virgins.
