Clarification that it is preferable to mention the general rule in explaining the noun of the past and present tense verbs along with the imperative, so Ibn Malik should have generalized the ruling in the verse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But the consideration remains regarding the last verse "And the imperative, if it is not" If he, may Allah have mercy on him, had mentioned the general rule, it would have been better, such that he would say: What indicates an action and does not accept its marker is the noun of that action. This resembles what some of the commentators mentioned previously, where he said regarding Ibn Malik's statement:
"And Allah decrees with abundant gifts *** For me and for him in the degrees of the Hereafter"
He said: If he had said:
"And Allah decrees with satisfaction and mercy *** For me and for him for the entire Ummah, this would be more general"
Even though Ibn Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, is not being criticized, because the one who supplicates for himself and one with him, or two, or three, or ten, is not blamed. The one who is blamed is the one who says: O Allah, forgive me and do not forgive anyone else, as the Bedouin who urinated in the mosque and the people rebuked him and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from doing so, then he called him afterwards and said:
Indeed, these mosques are not suitable for any harm or filth; they are only for prayer, saying Allahu Akbar, and reciting the Qur'an. إن هذه المساجد لا يصلح فيها شيء من الأذى والقذر إنما هي للصلاة والتكبير وقراءة القرآن
or as he said. Then the Bedouin said:
O Allah, forgive me, O Allah, forgive me and Muhammad, O Allah, have mercy on me and Muhammad, O Allah, have mercy on me and Muhammad, and do not have mercy on anyone with us. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have made a narrow what is wide, O brother of the Arabs. اللهم اغفر لي اللهم اغفر لي ومحمدا اللهم ارحمني ومحمدا ، اللهم ارحمني ومحمدا ولا ترحم معنا أحدا ، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : لقد تحجرت واسعا يا أخ العرب
Because Allah says:
but My mercy encompasses all things ورحمتي وسعت كل شيء
[Al-A'raf 7:156]
Yes.
