The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author said - (may Allah have mercy on him) - :
"And if it follows a questioner *** then you should always place them before
Like the case of 'from whom you are better' and in the case of informing, placing before is rare and has occurred:
It has been established that when the superlative adjective is bare, it is followed by the preposition 'min' (from) governing the one being compared to, such as: 'Zayd is better than 'Amr.'"
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: "And 'min' and its governed noun are in the position"
The Shaykh : And its governed noun!
The reader: "And 'min' and its governed noun are in the position of the possessed noun in a possessive construction, so it is not permissible to place them before the superlative, just as it is not permissible to place the possessed noun before the possessor, except when the governed noun is a question word, or is possessed by a question word, in which case it is obligatory to place 'min' and its governed noun before"
The Shaykh : And its governed noun! Yes, that is right.
The reader: "In which case it is obligatory to place 'min' and its governed noun before, such as: 'From whom are you better?', 'From which of them are you better?', and 'From which of their boys are you better?' And placing before has occurred anomalously in non-question contexts, and to this he alluded by saying: 'And in the case of informing, placing before is rare and has occurred.' And of that is his saying:
She said to us, 'Welcome and peace,' and she provided *** the honey of the bees, but what she provided is sweeter:
And the intended meaning is: 'But what she provided is sweeter than it,' and the saying of Dhur al-Rummah: "
The Shaykh : What is the honey of the bees?
The student: Honey.
The Shaykh : Honey, yes, honey is a pleasant and delightful name, but if I say that it is the vomit of the wasps, yes, what would it be? Loved or not?
The Shaykh : No.
The student: No, it is not loved. First, the wasp is not loved. Then its vomit is more detestable and more detestable, yes, but the truth!
The student: What is the wasp?
The Shaykh : The wasp that resembles the bee, this one
The student: It is the bee, apparently!?
The Shaykh : No, the wasps resemble the bees, and they are not beautiful
