The reader: " And for noble and stingy, fa'la *** is used, as is the case for what resembles them, and fa'ila' ***
stands in for it in the case of la'lam ***".
The Shaykh : In the defective form.
The reader: How?
The Shaykh : In the defective form.
The reader: And what is its grammatical parsing?
The Shaykh : ...
The reader: " And fa'ila' stands in for it in the defective form *** for la'lam and the doubled form, and other than that is rare:
Examples of the plural of abundance are fa'la', which is the standard pattern for fa'il in the sense of fa'il, describing a masculine rational being that is neither doubled nor defective, such as: zayyif and zayyifa', and karim and kirma', and bakhil and bakhla'. And by his saying: 'likewise for what resembles them,' he indicated that what resembles fa'il".
The Shaykh : fa'il, yes.
The reader: " fa'il in that it indicates a meaning that is like an innate quality, is pluralized as fa'la', such as 'aqil and 'uqala', and salih and salihun, and shair and shu'ara'. And fa'ila' stands in for fa'la' in the doubled and defective forms: fa'ila' such as: shadid and ashda', and wali and awliya'. And fa'ila' may come as a plural for other than what was mentioned, such as: nasib and ansiba', and hayin and ahuna', and fa'ila'".
The student: Shaykh, we have nothing tonight!
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Monday is absent, starting from Saturday.
The Shaykh : Absent means?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : This is not obligatory, yes.
The student: We are not benefiting from this.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: I say we are not benefiting from this.
