Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is a state, a state of the one who does... because he does it in every state, as there is a restriction in it. "When a request comes" means: if the present tense verb comes with a request, does it come with a request? Yes, it is accompanied by the negative particle "la" so it becomes a request, for example: "Do not strike," "Do not strike." Allah the Exalted said: Is this a request or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : And what is the request?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : The prohibition, -may Allah have mercy on you- every prohibition is a request, because the prohibition is a request to refrain, and you say: "Let you stand, O Zayd," right?
The student: A request.
The Shaykh : A request?
The student: A request.
The Shaykh : Where does the request come from?
The student: The command.
The Shaykh : The "lam" of command, "Let you stand," and you say: "Will you stand, O Zayd?" This is also a request because it is a question, and the question is a request for clarification, so this is the meaning of his saying: "with a request", which also confirms it.
"or a condition following"
Also, if a condition following "imma" comes, if a condition following "imma" comes, and "imma" is the conditional "in" accompanied by the extra "ma" for emphasis, Allah the Exalted said:[Maryam 19:26] Do you see this is a present tense verb or not?
The student: Present tense.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Present tense.
The Shaykh : A present tense verb came after the conditional "imma," after the conditional "imma," what is the origin of this conditional "imma"?
The student: "In" and "ma."
The Shaykh : "In" and "ma," "in" and "ma."
"or a condition following", is this in two places or three?
The student: Two places.
The Shaykh : And what is it?
The student: With a request.
The Shaykh : With a request.
The student: And the condition.
The Shaykh : The condition following "imma."
And do not say of anything
ولا تقولنَّ لشيءAnd do not say of anything, "I will do it tomorrow"
ولا تقولنَّ لشيء إنّي فاعل ذلك غداThe student: Yes.
