Discussion of what was previously covered in the chapter on the annexed to the vocative.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, what is the meaning of the author’s statement:
"And O, accompanied by al after a description *** it is obligatory to raise it with the one who knows"?
And what do you say, Ya Salim?
The student: The vocative must be accompanied by something else.
The Shaykh : It must be accompanied by something else; this general meaning is fine. Now, break down the verse for us so we can see this construction?
The student: ... it is raised.
The Shaykh : Does "O" require the accompanying "ha"?
The student: After it.
The Shaykh : For "O," we say the implied meaning is: "O, it is obligatory that the accompanying al, which occurs after it as a description of it,"
The student: With the accusative case.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: With the fathah.
The Shaykh : How?
The student: Based on the reading of "mashlub" in the accusative case.
The Shaykh : "Mashlub" in the accusative case, yes. But if we say "mashlub al" in the nominative case, then "O" is the subject, and "mashlub" is a second subject, and the meaning is: "And O, it is obligatory that the accompanying al, which occurs after it, be in the state of being a description of it." Now, is this verse an exception to a previous verse?
The student: "Except with Allah and the reported sentences".
The Shaykh : And it is the combination of "Ya" with "al"!
The student: "Ya" with "al."
The Shaykh : For it does not combine "Ya" with "al" except with Allah, yes, and with reported sentences, or in cases of necessity. These are the three issues we have passed through, and this is the fourth. If the accompanying "al" comes and we want to call out to it, and it is not one of the previous three, yes, we use "al." Now.
