Continuation of the explanation of the author's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement: "… and 'la' in prohibition and supplication …"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The "la" in supplication is the "la" of prohibition, but when the address is directed to the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, you do not say it is a prohibition, because you are not the one who prohibits Allah; Allah is the one who prohibits you, and you do not prohibit Allah. So what do I do? What do I call it? Is it a "la" of supplication, or is it a letter of supplication? Like His saying, the Exalted:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us ربنا لا تؤاخذنا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred لا تؤاخذنا إن نسينا أو أخطأنا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
It is correct. "Do not take us to task" — "Sakana" — what is the "dhal" which is "taking" and "action"? Well, if I said "My Lord, do not make me the most wretched of Your creation""My Lord, do not make me the most wretched of Your creation" "Do not make me the most wretched of Your creation" is correct.
The student: Correct.

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: Correct.

The Shaykh : My Lord, do not make me the most wretched of Your creation.
The student: Correct.

The Shaykh : Correct. Well, "My Lord, do not make me the most wretched of Your creation."
The student: Error

The Shaykh : It is a mistake. Why? Because you added a dammah to it, and the "la" of supplication juss (puts in the jussive case) the present tense verb. So these are eight letters that juss one verb. Let us take an example to see who among you can parse it. Who is willing? The second row, we start with the second row. Do you have the willingness or not?
The student: … the first one.

The Shaykh : Ah
The student: … the first one.

The Shaykh : Yes, you took it. I think the first one. There are many envious people. Well, "Do not stand up," "Do not stand up."
The student: "La" is the "la" of prohibition. "Qum" is a present tense verb in the jussive case due to the "la" of prohibition, and the sign of its jussive case is sukun (stillness).

The Shaykh : Well, and I said this is the "la" of prohibition, I said it is a prohibition, correct?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Fine, Hind, do not stand up.
The student: Hind is the subject (mubtada').

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: "Do not stand up," the "la" is the "la" of prohibition.

The Shaykh : No, no.
The student: The "la" of prohibition.

The Shaykh : Prohibition.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : "Stand up" or "Do not stand up"?
The student: "Do not stand up."

The Shaykh : Not "Hind, do not stand up."
The student: Yes, this one.

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: "Do not stand up."

The Shaykh : Or "Do not stand up" (with the verb in the indicative case).
The student: "Do not stand up."

The Shaykh : Well, are you prohibiting or informing?
The student: I am prohibiting.

The Shaykh : You just told us, you said "Hind, do not stand up from her place." Is it information or prohibition?
The student: It is a predicate (khabar).

The Shaykh : It is information. So "la" is not the "la" of prohibition, it is the "la" of negation. The "la" of negation does not change anything in the verb. The "la" of prohibition is what changes it. Well, here.
The student: And how do we distinguish between them?

The Shaykh : If it is information, you inform us that "Hind does not stand up." This means it is information. But if I said to the woman, "Do not stand up," this is prohibition. Well, so "la" is negation, "qum" (stand up).
The student: Present tense verb, raised by the visible dammah on its end.

The Shaykh : Correct. The line "I did not stand up" at the beginning, but I saw at the beginning "Zayd did not stand up," here.
The student: "Lam."

The Shaykh : First, is this example correct? "Zayd did not stand up," here. Complete the parsing.
The student: "Lam" is a letter of negation.

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: And reversal and jussive case.

The Shaykh : Okay.
The student: "Lam qam" — "qam" is a present tense verb.

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: In the jussive case due to "lam," and the sign of its jussive case is sukun.

The Shaykh : Well done.
The student: "Lam qam Zayd" — Zayd is the subject, raised by the visible dammah on its end.

The Shaykh : Well done. Well, if someone said "Zayd did not stand up" (with a dammah).
The student: "Zayd did not stand up."

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Here, one of the scholars, a scholar from among the scholars, said "Zayd did not stand up" (with a dammah).
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : And this raising is correct, my brothers. Well, if he is a scholar.
The student: If he is a scholar.

The Shaykh : If he is a scholar, because a scholar makes mistakes. Yes, I think Khalid has work tonight.
