The Shaykh : It is rare. If "rare" were to be pluralized, it was said that it is not permissible and that it is anomalous. This is the position of Ibn Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the disconnection of the verb; he stated that the apparent is not raised except in one issue, which is the issue of kohl, where it is permissible. As for Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him), he holds that it is possible but rare.
"And the raising of the apparent is rare": This means that the hidden pronoun is raised, and the apparent is not raised except rarely. This will come in the explanation, if Allah wills, which we are reading now. And his statement:
"And when *** it follows a verb, then it is often established":
"Follows a verb": That is, it becomes in the meaning of a verb, such that the verb can take its place. For "to follow a thing" means to become its successor in its place. So if it is valid for the verb to take its place, then at that time it is permissible for the apparent to be raised.
