Discussion on the construction of the imperative verb

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : With excellence until the Day of Judgment. The imperative verb is built on—Abdullah—the imperative verb.
The student: The imperative verb is built...

The Shaykh : Built on what?
The student: It is not built; it is not built on sukun (quiescence).

The Shaykh : According to the author's opinion, it is inflected, but some say it is built.
The student: It is built on sukun, on the deletion of the letter of weakness, on the deletion of the nun in the five verbs, and on the retention of the nun with fathah (open vowel).

The Shaykh : How is the retention of the nun with fathah? Are you not reviewing, Abdullah? Are you not reviewing?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : You did not review. This is not what we said. Perhaps you did not listen to the tape. You wrote it incorrectly and proceeded with it. Yes.
The student: The imperative verb is built on sukun.

The Shaykh : On sukun.
The student: Except in cases. The first case: if the end is weak, it is built by deleting the letter of weakness.

The Shaykh : Fine.
The student: The second case: if the nun of emphasis is attached to it, it is built on fathah.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The third case: if it is from the five verbs, it is built by deleting the nun.

The Shaykh : By deleting the nun, by deleting the nun. So it is built on sukun, on fathah, on the deletion of its end, and on the deletion of the nun, according to this. Good. We need an example of an imperative verb built on fathah.
The student: Built on the fathah.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Built on the fathah.

The Shaykh : Yes. Afhamin (understand, O women).
The student: Afhamin, idribin (strike, O women).

The Shaykh : Just leave idribin after afhamin... Afhamin. Parse it.
The student: Afhamin is an imperative verb.

The Shaykh : No, do not say the whole thing is afhamin.
The student: Afham is an imperative verb, an imperative verb built on fathah.

The Shaykh : Give the reason.
The student: Because of its attachment to the nun of emphasis.

The Shaykh : Well done. And the nun, is the nun for emphasis?
The student: No, for emphasis.

The Shaykh : For emphasis, Abdullah.
The student: Nun of emphasis.

The Shaykh : No, do not let the group overpower you.
The student: Nun of emphasis.

The Shaykh : Are you sure? Correct. Good, good. It is built on the deletion of the nun if it is from the five verbs. Come on, O...
The student: Iktuba (write, O two).

The Shaykh : Iktuba. Good, parse it.
The student: Iktuba. Iktub is an imperative verb built on the deletion of the nun.

The Shaykh : Iktuba, to...
The student: Iktuba is an imperative verb built on the deletion of the nun.

The Shaykh : And the alif.
The student: And the alif is in the position of nominative as the doer.

The Shaykh : The doer. Complete, correct. Give me one built on the deletion of the nun with the waw.
The student: Idribu (strike, O group).

The Shaykh : Idribu. Good, parse it.
The student: Idribu is an imperative verb, an imperative verb built on the deletion of the nun from its end, an imperative verb built on the deletion of the nun from its end, and the waw is a connected pronoun built on sukun.

The Shaykh : Your saying: "on the deletion of the nun from its end" is incorrect. Ah.
The student: Why?

The Shaykh : You say "built on the deletion of the nun from its end." This is incorrect. Who knows the nature of the error?
The student: Because the nun is not part of the verb.

The Shaykh : It is not part of the verb. Your name.
The student: Ali.

The Shaykh : Come on, O Ali.
The student: Built on the deletion of the nun.

The Shaykh : And the waw.
The student: The waw is a connected pronoun built on sukun in the position of nominative as the doer.

The Shaykh : Well done. Complete. Give me one built on the deletion of the nun attached to the yaa of address.
The student: Idribi (strike, O you female).

The Shaykh : Idribi. Parse it.
The student: Idrib... and it is built on the deletion of the nun, and the yaa is the doer.

The Shaykh : Well done. Complete. Good. Give me an imperative verb built on the deletion of the alif.
The student: Izhba (go, O two).

The Shaykh : No, deletion of the alif. Yes, what is it?
The student: Ikhash (be humble).

The Shaykh : Ikhasha (be humble). Ikhash. Good. Ikhash. Parse it.
The student: Ikhash is a verb...

The Shaykh : Ikhash is an imperative verb built on the deletion of the alif. Why?
The student: Because it is weak with the alif.

The Shaykh : Because it is weak with the alif. Well done. Note, everyone, the imperative verb must have a doer, and the doer is necessarily hidden unless the doer is the alif of the dual, the waw of the group, or the yaa of address, to make the parsing easier for you. Every imperative verb must have a doer, and it is necessarily hidden unless the alif of the dual, the waw of the group, or the yaa of address is attached to it. Complete. Good. Give me an imperative verb weak with the yaa. No.
The student: Iqda (judge).

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Iqda.

The Shaykh : Iqda. Well done. Parse it.
The student: Iqda is an imperative verb, an imperative verb built, and the sign of its construction is the deletion of the letter of weakness.

The Shaykh : And it is the yaa. Well done. And its doer, we gave you the rule, is hidden.
The student: Hidden.

The Shaykh : Follow up. Its doer is hidden.
The student: Its doer is hidden.

The Shaykh : Necessarily.
The student: Obligatory.

The Shaykh : Its estimation.
The student: Its estimation.

The Shaykh : Ah, it came back to you. This is Iqda.
The student: Its estimation is you.

The Shaykh : You. Well done. Hidden necessarily, its estimation is you. Good. Give me one weak with the waw. An imperative verb weak with the waw. Idda (call). Parse it.
The student: Idda is an imperative verb built on the deletion of the letter of weakness.

The Shaykh : And it is:
The student: The waw.

The Shaykh : And the dammah before it is evidence for it. The dammah before it is evidence for it. Good. The doer.
The student: The waw.

The Shaykh : The waw in it, is there anyone who opposes soundness?
The student: The doer is hidden necessarily.

The Shaykh : Hidden necessarily, its estimation is you. Yes, correct. Good. We gave you the rule. May Allah reward you with good. Every imperative verb, its doer is hidden necessarily unless the alif of the dual, the waw of the group, or the yaa of address is attached to it. Even if you say: Idribin, Idribin, the nun of emphasis is attached to it, so it is hidden necessarily, its estimation is you. Take this rule, it will make parsing easier for you.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : What is it? What is it?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : This is either for the pause, because the pause connects like
What did my wealth avail me ما أغنى ماليه
This pause has no letter, it is just for the pause.
The student: Built on sukun.

The Shaykh : No, this is a noun for the imperative, not an imperative verb. This is a noun for the imperative built on fathah. Good. May Allah bless you. We have learned the imperative verb. The question: is it built or inflected? According to the author, it is inflected and jussive, and the correct view is that it is built. On what is it built? On one of four things: sukun, fathah, deletion of the letter of weakness, deletion of the nun. Like this, or not? Good. It is on the deletion of the nun if it is from the five verbs. Deletion of the letter of weakness if it is weak. On fathah if the nun of emphasis is attached to it. On sukun in all other cases. On sukun in all other cases. This is the imperative verb.
Good. The imperative verb must have a doer, like other verbs. Every verb must have a doer, but its doer is hidden necessarily, its estimation is you, unless the alif of the dual, the waw of the group, or the yaa of address is attached to it. Is this known or not known? Ah, guidance from Allah, it is known.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : I am excluding
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Good, we say: Every imperative verb must have a doer, and its doer is a hidden pronoun necessarily, its estimation is you, unless its end is the alif of the dual, the waw of the group, or the yaa of address. Complete. Good. I think, if Allah wills, we have finished with the imperative verb.
