The Shaykh : Yes, he says: "and it is the noun in the accusative case upon which the action falls". This is the object of the action, meaning that upon which the action of the doer falls. Whatever the action of the doer falls upon is the object of the action. And what is it?
The student: Whatever the action falls upon is the object of the action.
The Shaykh : Yes, so if I say: "I rode the car," where is the object of the action?
The student: The car.
The Shaykh : The car, because the action of the doer fell upon it. And if I say: "I knocked on the door," the door?
The student: The door.
The Shaykh : The door, yes. And if I say: "I memorized the book"?
The student: The book.
The Shaykh : The book. So that upon which the action of the doer falls is the object of the action. Therefore, we have a verb, a doer, and an object of the action. Now, if I say: "I am riding the horse"?
The student: The horse.
The Shaykh : The horse is the object of the action. The author says: "such as when he says: 'I struck Zayd,' and 'I rode the horse'". The striking fell upon Zayd, and the riding fell upon the horse. Therefore, Zayd is the object of the action, and the horse is the object of the action. "I read the book"? The book is read, so it is the object of the action, is that right? The student: Yes.
