Explanation of the statement of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): The Declined and the Indeclinable.

The Shaykh : Then the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The Declined and the Indeclinable". This is the title of this chapter. He began with the declined because of its honor, and with the indeclinable because its rank is lower than that of the declined, and because the indeclinable is fewer in number than the declined, while the declined are more numerous. The author, may Allah have mercy on him, explained in this chapter what is declined and what is indeclinable among nouns, verbs, and particles. As for nouns, he divided them into two categories.
