The Shaykh : He said:
"And this is the 'ayha' that has come":
Hush! What is it? He said it is accompanied by the article *al*. Is that what comes after *ay*? Does anything other than what is accompanied by *al* come? Let us see: A proper name cannot come after *ay*, so it is not correct to say: "O *ayha* Zayd." This is not permissible, is it?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : The relative pronoun, the author will mention it. The demonstrative pronoun, the author mentioned it. Yes, good. The possessive: "O *ayha* the boy of Zayd," does it come or does it not come?
The student: It does not come.
The Shaykh : It does not come. So, the one adorned with *al* comes, as the first verse indicates. And the demonstrative pronoun also comes: *ay* *ha* *dha*. In my copy, *ay* is written alone, and *dha* is written alone. And in your copies?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : In the explanation?
The student: Alone.
The Shaykh : How?
The student: *Dha* with *ay*.
The Shaykh : Yes, correct, but *dha* alone.
The student: No, all of it.
The Shaykh : In the explanation?
The student: Yes, alone.
The Shaykh : *Dha* with the *ha*?
The student: No, no, alone.
The Shaykh : Alone.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Strange!
The student: The explanation.
The Shaykh : Yes, good. The correct form is: *ayha* alone, and *dha* alone: "ayha dha". As for the copy I have, *ay* is an interrogative pronoun: "ay hadha fa'alt". So the correct form is: *ayha* alone, and *dha* is the demonstrative pronoun, "ayha dha" has come.
The student: Is the example like the first one?
The Shaykh : Like the first one, yes. It has come this way, meaning it has come that *ayha* is followed by a demonstrative pronoun. You say: *ayha dha*: "And if you wish, say: the man, and if you wish, do not say it." Yes. And you say: *ayha alladhi*: *ayha alladhi* and *alladhi*? A relative pronoun. And the phrase *ayha alladhi*: it indicates that he only intends the relative pronoun adorned with *al*. As for the relative pronoun like *man*, what has not come is: "O *ayha* *man* stood up." But: "O *ayha* *alladhi* stood up," is it correct or not?
The student: It is correct.
The Shaykh : It is correct. So, what follows *ay* here now is the generic noun adorned with *al*, or do we say: every noun adorned with *al*? Every noun adorned with *al*, and the second is a demonstrative pronoun, and the third is the relative pronoun adorned with *al*.
"And this is the 'ayha' that has come":
Hush! What is it? He said it is accompanied by the article *al*. Is that what comes after *ay*? Does anything other than what is accompanied by *al* come? Let us see: A proper name cannot come after *ay*, so it is not correct to say: "O *ayha* Zayd." This is not permissible, is it?

The student: The explanation.
The Shaykh : Yes, good. The correct form is: *ayha* alone, and *dha* alone: "ayha dha". As for the copy I have, *ay* is an interrogative pronoun: "ay hadha fa'alt". So the correct form is: *ayha* alone, and *dha* is the demonstrative pronoun, "ayha dha" has come.

And the phrase *ayha alladhi*: it indicates that he only intends the relative pronoun adorned with *al*. As for the relative pronoun like *man*, what has not come is: "O *ayha* *man* stood up."
