The commentator said regarding the meaning of Ibn Malik’s statement, “kadhā wa dhā,” that it refers to the companion?

The questioner : The Shaykh said: The commentator’s statement, “kadhā wa dhā,” is because his intention is that which means the companion. The noun *dhā* is what we mentioned as a demonstrative noun.

The Shaykh : Yes, but it has a perspective. The commentator’s explanation has a perspective. It is better after the discussion, because if we say “kadhā wa dhā,” they are all for indication, but the first is for the masculine and the second for the feminine. We missed that *dhū* means companion, even though it is not for the doer, but it means the name of the doer. So *dhā* is: a demonstrative noun, and *dhī* is for that which means companion. Yes.
