Explanation of the author's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement: "… The Chapter on Exception …"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The Chapter on Exception"
Exception in the language is derived from *thani*, from *thaniyyah*, which is bending, bending one part of a thing onto another is called *thaniyyah*, for example: this wire is with me, if I say it this way, I bent it, right?
The student: I bent it.

The Shaykh : I bent it, so exception is derived from *thaniyyah*, because you return the speech to its beginning, so this is a *thaniyyah*, this is in the language, whereas in the technical terminology it is: "excluding some of the individuals of the general by *illa* or one of its sisters", excluding some of the individuals of the general by *illa* or one of its sisters, its example is: The people stood up, is this general or specific?
The student: General.

The Shaykh : It includes all the people, except Zayd?
The student: Specific.

The Shaykh : You excluded some of the individuals of the general, by what? By *illa*, okay, the people stood up, right?
The student: Comprehensive.

The Shaykh : General, other than Zayd?
The student: Specific.

The Shaykh : Specification, I excluded some of the individuals of the general, by what?
The student: By *ghayr*.

The Shaykh : By one of the sisters of *illa*, what is its name?
The student: *Ghayr*.

The Shaykh : *Ghayr*, okay, so exception in the technical terminology is: "excluding some of the individuals of the general by *illa* or one of its sisters", this is in terms of meaning, whereas in terms of changing the speech and its grammatical case, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) explained this with a sufficient explanation.
