The student: And what prevents it in the name?
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: What prevents the name?
The Shaykh : What is the name?
The student: The one you mentioned, Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman?
The Shaykh : Yes, because the second "ibn" is not an attribute of the first "ibn"; it is an attribute of the first [name], an attribute of the second [name]. It is disconnected from the first one originally. Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman. "Ibn" with a kasrah is a description of 'Abd Allah; it is not a description of Muhammad. So, when the attributes are not repeated.
The student: Okay, if for example he is attributed to cities?
The Shaykh : Yes, it must be a follower... it must follow.
