Reading from Ibn Aqil’s commentary (may Allah have mercy on him), with the Shaykh’s annotations: " .

The reader: " It has been established that the adjective must agree with the noun it modifies in case, and in definiteness or indefiniteness. As for its agreement with the noun in singularity and other forms, namely dual and plural, and masculinity, and other forms, namely femininity, its ruling in these is the ruling of the verb ".
The Shaykh : The ruling of the verb.
The reader: " Its ruling in these is the ruling of the verb. If it raises a hidden pronoun, it agrees with the noun absolutely ".
The Shaykh : Absolutely!!
The reader: " It agrees with the noun absolutely, such as: 'Zayd is a good man,' 'the two Zayds are two good men,' 'the Zayds are good men,' 'Hind is a good woman,' 'the two Hinds are two good women' "
The Shaykh : The two Hinds!!
The reader: " The two Hinds are two good women, and the Hinds are good women ".
The Shaykh : Good women.
The reciter: In my copy, with a fathah.
The Shaykh : With an open fatha?!
The reader: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: " It agrees in masculinity and femininity, singularity, dual, and plural, just as the verb agrees, if you were to place a verb in the position of the adjective and say: 'a good man' ".
The Shaykh : Good!
The reader: " A good man, two good men, good men, a good woman, two good women, and good women. And if the adjective raises an apparent noun, then with regard to masculinity and femininity, it follows that apparent noun. As for dual and plural, it follows the course of the verb if it raises an apparent noun, so you say: 'I passed by a man whose mother is good,' just as you say: 'his mother is good,' and 'two women whose fathers are good' ".
The Shaykh : Their fathers!
The reader: " Whose fathers are good, and by men whose fathers are good, just as you say: 'their fathers are good,' and 'their fathers are good.' So the result is that if the adjective raises a pronoun, it agrees with the noun in four out of ten: one from the cases of inflection, which are nominative, accusative, and genitive; one from definiteness and indefiniteness; one from masculinity and femininity; and one from singularity, dual, and plural. And if it raises an apparent noun, it agrees with it in two out of five: one from the cases of inflection, and one from definiteness and indefiniteness. As for the remaining five, which are masculinity, femininity, singularity, dual, and plural, its ruling in them is the ruling of the verb if it raises an apparent noun. If it is attributed to a feminine, it is made feminine, even if the noun is masculine ".
The Shaykh : Yes, " it is made feminine, even if the noun is masculine ", this is connected to what came before it.
The reader: " It is made feminine, even if the noun is masculine. And if it is attributed to a masculine, it is made masculine, even if the noun is feminine. And if it is attributed to a singular, dual, or plural, it is made singular, even if the noun is otherwise ".
The Shaykh : Yes, he says: " I passed by two women whose fathers are good ", or not?
The reader: Yes.
The Shaykh : Good?!
The reciter: Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : Dual, isn't it?! Two women!! Yes, but the causal adjective follows the course of the verb. As long as it raises an apparent noun, it remains singular and masculine. And you say: 'I passed by men whose father is good,' correct?
The reader: Yes, correct.
The Shaykh : And whose fathers are good, and whose mother is good, and whose mothers are good, yes!
The Shaykh : The ruling of the verb.
The reader: " Its ruling in these is the ruling of the verb. If it raises a hidden pronoun, it agrees with the noun absolutely ".
The Shaykh : Absolutely!!
