Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... Two positions are permissible, and the stronger one is that it is a substitute (badal).
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : But.
The Shaykh : There is no substitute (badal) here.
The student: There is no substitute (badal), no.
The Shaykh : If it is devoid of "ma," the stronger position is the genitive case, if it is devoid of "ma."
The student: As evidence that it is closer?
The Shaykh : How?
The student: As evidence that it is closer.
The Shaykh : How?
The student: Because it is closer.
The Shaykh : In preferring the complete substitute (badal) in a negated sentence.
The student: Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : Because it is closer to the meaning, yes, because if you say: "Ma qama al-qawm illa Zaydun," the reality is as if you said: "Ma qama illa Zayd," therefore the substitute (badal) is closer. Now, let us take the grammatical parsing. We stopped at the middle of the third row. Where is the third one here?
The student: The first.
The Shaykh : No, no, from here, the beginning.
The student: The third one, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The middle of the third one. I am certain there is no problem, but what I thought was that they were all guests, what Allah willed. As for you, only one position is permissible from the perspective of the wording; there is nothing but the accusative case, did you understand? But in the grammatical parsing, it differs. Now, parse it as an exception?
