The Shaykh : The author says:
"In tarakim, delete the end of the vocative"
What is the grammatical parsing of "tarakim"?
The student: It is an object for the sake of which (maf'ul li-ajlihi).
The Shaykh : I... you all parse it as an object for the sake of which, because that is the apparent meaning, but they say: that tarakim in technical terminology is the deletion of the end of the vocative, it is the deletion of the end of the vocative, and if it is the deletion of the end of the vocative, then it is not appropriate for "tarakim" to be an object for the sake of which.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It is subtle, because the meaning becomes "tarakim for tarakim," meaning: he performed tarakim for the sake of tarakim, he performed tarakim for the sake of tarakim, this has no meaning—did you get it?—otherwise, the issue for us is that you say "In tarakim, delete the end of the vocative", it is understood to be an object for the sake of which, on this basis, if tarakim is the deletion of the end of the vocative, then it is like the saying of the one who says: "I sat sitting," "I sat sitting," and it would be a semantic verbal noun (masdar ma'na) according to the opinion of Ibn Ajurrum, or an absolute object (maf'ul mutlaq) according to the opinion of Ibn Malik, yes:
"And what indicates it may stand in its place *** like 'Jidd' for all effort, and 'Jadhl' for joy"
So then, for "tarakim" we say it is an absolute object, and its agent is his saying: "delete" "delete the end of the vocative", so tarakim in the terminology of grammarians is: the deletion of the end of the vocative, and I think it passes by you often, the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : O Aisha, he deleted its end, its tarakim, yes, so he says:
"Like 'Ya Su'a' for whoever called out to Su'ad"
This is a woman named Su'ad, if I want to perform tarakim with the vocative, what do I say?
The student: Ya Su'a.
The Shaykh : I say: Ya Su'a or Su'a, whether I keep the particle of vocative or delete it, the important thing is that I say Su'a, yes, is it clear, I think?
The student: We deleted the dal and the alif.
