Explanation of the words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): "If it is like al-'Inaq and al-Dhi'ah in *** elongation, femininity, and the count of letters."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I do the same; it comes as the plural of the quadriliteral word if it is a noun:
"And if it is like al-'Inaq and al-Dhi'ah in *** elongation, femininity, and the count of letters":
If it is a quadriliteral noun but it is feminine, like al-'Inaq and al-Dhi'ah. What is al-'Inaq? Al-'Inaq is the small female kid of the goat, and al-Dhi'ah is well known. If it is like al-'Inaq and al-Dhi'ah in elongation, femininity, and the count of letters, then you say: in 'Inaq, you say in it: A'inaq, and in Dhi'ah?
The student: Adhi'ah.
The Shaykh : Adhi'ah, okay, what about Hamar (donkey)?
The student: It is not in it!
Another student: Himar.
The Shaykh : Okay, let's see, what is missing from the condition? "If it is like al-'Inaq and al-Dhi'ah in *** elongation and femininity"!
The student: Femininity.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Femininity.
The Shaykh : It is not feminine; this is masculine. That is why we do not say in Hamar: Ahmur. Okay, what about Ghulam (boy)?
The student: Ghulam is masculine.
The Shaykh : We do not say: Aghulm, because it is masculine. What about Su'ad?
The student: We say in it: As'ud.
The Shaykh : Yes? We say in it: As'ud. This is the analogy; this is the analogy because it is a quadriliteral noun, elongated before the last letter, and feminine.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It does not harm, it does not harm, because the intended meaning is that it be like al-'Inaq: in elongation, femininity, and the count of letters.
