Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And I made the nominative and the accusative a grammatical analysis" We committed ourselves to analyzing the verses, yes, for practice, in place of practicing the analysis of the Noble Qur'an, until the inheritance laws are finished, and then things return to their normal course. Yes, he says: "And I made the nominative and the accusative a grammatical analysis" I analyze the nominative and the accusative.
The student: The waw is a letter.
The Shaykh : Yes, what?
The student: It is a letter of resumption, built on the fathah, with no grammatical position, and the nominative is the object of the verb.
The Shaykh : The object of the verb. What made it accusative?
The student: The verb "made" (aj'alna).
The Shaykh : The verb "made" (aj'alna), so the object is placed before "made" (aj'alna). Good. Is it the first object or the second? Yes.
The student: Accusative...
The Shaykh : The nominative. Ah, it is the first object of "made" (aj'alna), it is accusative, and its sign of being accusative is...
The student: The fathah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The waw is a conjunction, and the accusative is the second object.
The Shaykh : How?
The student: And the accusative is the second object.
The Shaykh : No, since you said the waw is a conjunction.
The student: Yes, the accusative is conjoined to the nominative.
The Shaykh : Conjoined to the nominative, and what is conjoined to an accusative is accusative.
The student: "Made" (aj'alna) is a command verb.
The Shaykh : All of it is "made" (aj'al), a command verb.
The student: Built on... built on the sukun.
The Shaykh : No, it is built on the fathah. Come on, Khalid, it is built on the fathah. "Made" (aj'alna), the lam is its last letter, it is built on the fathah. Why was it built on the fathah? Because of its connection
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : to the nun of emphasis. Good, and the nun
The student: And the nun...
The Shaykh : is a letter of emphasis with no grammatical position.
The student: The second object of "made" (aj'alna).
The Shaykh : Yes, ah.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : That is the subject, yes.
The student: Grammatically, it is the second object of "made" (aj'alna).
The Shaykh : Good. "For a noun and a verb, like 'I will not fear'" For a noun and a verb.
The student: The lam is a preposition. The noun is in the genitive case, and its sign of being genitive is the visible kasrah on its end. The waw is a conjunction, a verb is conjoined...
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The student: ...the predicate is placed first...
The Shaykh : No, no, no. "Like" (nahw) is a mistake. "Like" (nahw) is a subject, a mistake.
The student: A predicate.
The Shaykh : The predicate of what?
The student: The predicate of a deleted subject.
The Shaykh : What is the implied meaning?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : No, Ahmad.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : "Like" (nahw) is what?
The student: The predicate of a deleted subject.
The Shaykh : What is the implied meaning?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : For a noun and a verb, it is "I will not fear." No.
The student: And that.
The Shaykh : And that is "like 'I will not fear.'" Good, come on, complete it, Abdullah. So "like" (nahw) is the predicate of a deleted subject, the implied meaning is "that." Yes.
The student: "Lan" is a particle of accusative that makes the present tense verb accusative...
The Shaykh : "Lan." Is that enough? This is a particle of negation, accusative, and future. Yes.
The student: "I will not fear" (lan ahabba). "Fear" (ahabba) is a present tense verb made accusative by "lan," and its sign of being accusative is the visible fathah...
The Shaykh : And the subject.
The student: A hidden pronoun, obligatory, implied to be "I."
The Shaykh : What is the implied meaning?
The student: I
The Shaykh : "I." Good. "Like 'I will not fear.'" What is the grammatical position of the sentence "I will not fear"?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : No, ah.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : It is a genitive. How? Is the genitive the second or the first? No, not the second, the first is the one intended, you mean it is a genitive to which something is added. Good. The sentence is in the position of a genitive to which something is added, and it is permissible for it to be in the position of an accusative. The implied meaning is "like saying 'I will not fear.'" Good. If we proceed like this, my brothers, we are not proceeding, we are not proceeding. What is your opinion that I analyze it quickly? Yes, here.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Now look, how long have we been sitting? Maybe ten minutes, and you have brought one.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, very well.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : What?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : By Allah, I am with your wishes. I have one for all of you. I will bring this until the time for the iqamah comes, but I say that if you continue like this, you are not moving forward.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Or let us analyze the important thing. The important thing that has a problem, we analyze it, and what is clear is clear. For example, the nominative and the accusative, the nominative is a placed object, it is known, we must know it. Yes. But "for a noun and a verb" is a preposition and a genitive, there is no problem. Good, let us proceed tonight.
The student: I say, O Shaykh, you analyze it, O Shaykh. Until now, we have not proceeded.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt, I am not proceeding at all.
The student: It became "like" (nahw), it did not become the Alfiyyah.
The Shaykh : No, it did not become the Alfiyyah, nor did it become "like" (nahw), it became grammatical analysis.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And I made the nominative and the accusative a grammatical analysis" We committed ourselves to analyzing the verses, yes, for practice, in place of practicing the analysis of the Noble Qur'an, until the inheritance laws are finished, and then things return to their normal course.

The student: The fathah.
