Explanation of the statement of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): Emphasis.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : Then the author said: "Emphasis": It is said *al-tawkid* and it is said *al-ta'kid*, and *al-tawkid* is more eloquent, because it is the term used in the Qur'an. Allah the Exalted said:

and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allah, over you, a witness

ولا تنقضوا الأيمان بعد توكيدها وقد جعلتم الله عليكم كفيلا

[An-Nahl 16:91]

, and its meaning is strengthening; the meaning of emphasis is strengthening. It is of two types: verbal and conceptual. Verbal is the repetition of the word, such as when you say to a man: "Strive for knowledge, strive for knowledge." This is verbal emphasis, because you did nothing but repeat the word twice. Yes, and it may be repeated three times, as in the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):

There are three to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection nor will He look at them or purify them, and theirs will be a painful torment.

ثلاثة لا يكلمهم الله يوم القيامة ولا ينظر إليهم ولا يزكيهم ولهم عذاب أليم

Sunan Ibn Majah 2208Sahih (Darussalam)

, he repeated it three times, until Abu Dharr said to him: "They have failed and lost. Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?"
