The Shaykh : Also, there is another specificity. He said:
"I meant the nominative":
"I meant the nominative": So then, the attached nominative pronoun is emphasized with "nafs" (self) and "ayn" (eye). Thus, we have two conditions: If you are asked when it is obligatory to use the detached pronoun when emphasizing the attached pronoun, we say it is obligatory under two conditions: "First: that the emphasized pronoun is a nominative pronoun, and second: that the emphasis is with 'nafs' or 'ayn'." This is from the characteristics of the critic!
The student: There is a third condition remaining!
The Shaykh : We have two conditions: First: that the pronoun is a nominative pronoun. We are speaking about the attached pronoun, as for the detached one, it was not mentioned in the original. And the second, what is it? That it be emphasized with "nafs" or "ayn." So here, it is necessary to bring the detached pronoun. Now, let us give an example from Ghanim. What is his example?
The student: You all came.
The Shaykh : This is what is obligatory.
The student: Huh?
The Shaykh : This is where the detached pronoun is obligatory: You all came.
The student: The obligatory one?
The Shaykh : And what is not obligatory!
The student: Because it is not with "nafs" nor with "ayn."
The Shaykh : Perfect. But if I said: You all came, yourselves, it would be obligatory to say: You, you all, yourselves. Good.
And the author's saying: "after the detached": Its apparent meaning is that if it is separated by something other than the detached pronoun, it is not permissible. Its apparent meaning is that if it is separated by something other than the detached pronoun, it is not permissible, or is it not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : But some grammarians say it is permissible. It is permissible to separate with something other than the detached pronoun. For example, you say: You all came in the house, or You all descended in the house. There is no mistake! You all descended in the house, yourselves. You all descended in the house, your eyes. So this one says there is no harm in it, because the important thing is that there is a separator between the attached pronoun and the emphatic, which is "nafs" and "ayn."
The student: The time is up.
The Shaykh : Huh? No, it is not finished, one minute remains. Now, the summary, my brothers: "If you emphasize the attached pronoun with 'nafs' or 'ayn', and it is nominative, it is obligatory to separate with the detached pronoun." And it was said with the detached pronoun or with any separator, or with any separator. Now, and it is known from the author's saying: "I meant the nominative": that if the attached accusative pronoun is emphasized, separation is not obligatory. So you say: I honored you, yourself. I passed by you, your eye. So what is permissible!
The student: It is permissible.
The Shaykh : It is permissible, because the author says: "I meant the nominative". He said:
"And they emphasized with what *** other than them, and the condition is not to be observed":
"And they emphasized": The pronoun refers to the Arabs, because they are the people of speech. "With what other than them": Meaning with what other than "nafs" and "ayn."
"And the condition is not to be observed": What is the condition? It is separation with a detached pronoun. "Is not to be observed": Meaning they did not bring a detached pronoun. And the summary of the two verses is: with the following questions: First: Is it permissible to emphasize the pronoun with "nafs" and "ayn"?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : With "nafs" and "ayn," it is permissible to emphasize the pronoun with "nafs" and "ayn," correct? Is it permissible to emphasize the pronoun, whether it is accusative, nominative, or genitive, with "nafs" or "ayn"?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible. Is it obligatory to separate with the detached pronoun if the attached pronoun is emphasized with "nafs" or "ayn"?
The student: In the state of nominative.
The Shaykh : In the case of the nominative, it is obligatory. In the case of the accusative and genitive, it is not obligatory. Yes, and Allah knows best.
"I meant the nominative":
"I meant the nominative": So then, the attached nominative pronoun is emphasized with "nafs" (self) and "ayn" (eye). Thus, we have two conditions: If you are asked when it is obligatory to use the detached pronoun when emphasizing the attached pronoun, we say it is obligatory under two conditions: "First: that the emphasized pronoun is a nominative pronoun, and second: that the emphasis is with 'nafs' or 'ayn'."
