Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The Descriptive Attribute": Linguistically, the descriptive attribute is a description; to describe someone is to depict him. You say, "I described so-and-so," meaning I depicted him. As for its technical definition, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) will mention it after the first verse.
The descriptive attribute, emphasis, coordination, and substitution are all followers of the word that precedes them in grammatical case. They are followers of the word that precedes them in grammatical case: if it is nominative, they are made nominative; if it is accusative, they are made accusative; if it is genitive, they are made genitive; and if it is jussive, they are made jussive!
The student: No, no, no. Nouns do not have the jussive case.
The Shaykh : O my brothers, do not rush. If it is jussive, they are made jussive!
The student: Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh :[Al-Furqan 25:68-69] Yes, is that right?
The student: "Yukhlid" (he will remain), yes.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: In other words, yes.
The Shaykh : No, the discussion is about what follows. The important point is that they follow other words in grammatical case. Therefore, grammatical case is either primary or secondary. The secondary cases are these followers.

The Shaykh :
And whoever should do that will meet a penalty. (69) Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated -
