The student : Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Here, in the last case...
The Shaykh : If it is four letters or more...
The student: Quraysh, the third.
The Shaykh : But how many letters are in the word, how many letters is the word?
The student: Four letters.
The student: The discussion in the context is about the soft letter.
The Shaykh : No, no, it is not about the soft letters.
The student: "Soft" here means that the *khalaf* is a new ruling, not related to it.
The Shaykh : Look, this *khalaf* is a branch of what came before. He says:
"If Zayd is softened"
The student: ... the four letters
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
"If Zayd is softened, quiescent, and complete, four letters or more"
The apparent meaning of his words is that the weak letter must be the fourth one.
The student: This is the third.
The questioner : Quraysh, the third.
The Shaykh : But even Pharaoh is the third.
The questioner : No, Pharaoh is the fourth.
The Shaykh : Pharaoh is the fourth, yes. So, Quraysh is not a valid example, Quraysh is not a valid example because it is a sound word of four letters, but the soft letter is not the fourth. What do you have in it?
The questioner : The verse?
The Shaykh : No, that doesn't work. Do you not have an example in the commentary?
The student: Gharaniq.
The Shaykh : Okay, correct. Gharaniq, Gharaniq, which people here call Gharanug, this known bird. You say: Gharaniq, Gharanay, or Gharan. This example should be put in place of Quraysh, because it escaped my mind that the soft letter must be the fourth or more. Okay, the author says.
The student: ... he gave an example with an example.
The Shaykh : In any case, all of these are rare cases. Even "miskin" now, notice that we do not shorten it as if it were one "miskin" [poor person], the "masakin" [poor people], we shorten it as if it were "miskin"?
The student: Knowledge.
The Shaykh : 'Ilm, the name of a man we named Miskin, understood?
The student: I understand.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The student: In the Qur'an there are many: "yawm" [day], "bayt" [house], and "Quraysh," but all of them.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
