Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : But it remains as a state (hal)!
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : I passed by Zayd, he is the generous one. This is not permissible.
The Shaykh : No, I passed by Zayd, he is the generous one?!
The questioner : If the one passing is the subject (mubtada')!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : How does the position of the sentence become accusative as a state (hal)?
The Shaykh : Because it is a state of his being the generous one, meaning no other. It is also permissible for it to be explanatory, having no grammatical position, just as if you said: "I mean," but "I mean" is clearly an explanation and clarification, unlike "he is the generous one," which is not clear.
The questioner : I mean, is it in the state of condition (hay'ah), O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : In the state of his being generous.
The questioner : I mean, the condition (hay'ah)?
The Shaykh : His condition, yes, his attribute is generosity, because the state (hal) is an attribute. The state is an attribute, but it must be in the accusative case, according to what was mentioned in the chapter on the state (hal). Yes, that is the end.
