Explanation of the words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): "And in place of the passive participle of the triliteral verb, the form of Fa'il is used, like *fatat* (maiden) or *fatay* (youth), as in *kayhil*."

The Shaykh :"And in place of the passive participle of the triliteral verb, the form of Fa'il is used, like *fatat* (maiden) or *fatay* (youth), as in *kayhil*"
"In place of it" means in place of the passive participle of the triliteral verb, the form of Fa'il is used, such as *fatat* (maiden) or *fatay* (youth), as in *kayhil*. However, this is common in the Arabic language: *kayhil* meaning one with kohl in the eyes, *qatil* meaning one who was killed, *dhabih* meaning one who was slaughtered, and *walid* meaning one who was born.
The student: *Walid* means the name of one who was born.

The Shaykh : Correct, because he is a newborn. They named him *Walid* because he was a newborn. Yes, okay, so are we done with the verse or not?
The student: Okay.

The Shaykh : Okay, if Allah wills, we will move on to the grammar lesson next time.
