Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author said: "In inflection, the following names follow the first":
The word "al-asma" (names): Is its second hamza a hamzat al-qat' (severed hamza) or not? "Al-asma" has a hamzat al-qat'.
The student: And its original form! ?
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: And the original form is that it is connected (hamzat al-wasl).
The Shaykh : No, no, it is a hamzat al-qat'; its second hamza is a hamzat al-qat'.[An-Najm 53:23]: So it is on the pattern of "af'al" (plural of action), but here you make it a hamzat al-wasl. Why? For the necessity of poetry, so you say: "It follows in al-asma, in al-asma, in inflection: al-asma."
"The first":
What is the grammatical position of "al-asma" (names)? Its position is accusative, as it is a fronted object. Its position is accusative, as it is a fronted object, and it is an adjective: this is the subject of "follows"; it is the subject: an adjective follows it.
"And the emphatic, the conjoined, and the substitute":
So the followers (tabi'at) are four: the adjective, the emphatic, the conjoined, and the substitute. So the followers are four, gathered in one hemistich of Ibn Malik's Alfiyyah:
"The adjective, the emphatic, the conjoined, and the substitute"
Yes, and all of them have definitions and rulings.
