Explanation of the words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): "Ab, Akh, Ham, Kadhak, and Han *** And the omission in this last one is better."

The Shaykh : He said: "Ab, Akh, Ham, Kadhak"
He separated the second from the first because the reason for that is: In *Dhu* and *Faw* there is a condition that is not required in what comes after them. In them there is a condition that is not required in what comes after them. The specific condition for *Dhu* is that it means "possessor," and for *Faw* that the *mim* be absent from it. Therefore, he separated them from what comes after them due to their exclusivity to this condition.
These are referred to as the five names and the six names, depending on whether *Han* is included among them or not? If we say it is included, they are six; and if we say it is not, they are five. And Allah knows best.
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.
He said (may Allah have mercy on him):
"And raise with a waw, and accuse with an alif *** And decline with a ya what of the names I have described
From that, *Dhu* if companionship of our father *** And *Faw* where the *mim* from it has departed
Ab, Akh, Ham, Kadhak, and Han *** And the omission in this last one is better
And in *Ab* and its two followers it is rare *** And the shortening of it from the omission of them is more famous".
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah. Yes, yes, and a condition.
The student: "And the condition of this declension is that they be attached *** To a *liya* like *Ja*, the brother of your father, this is elevated"
