Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :" *** And it is rare after *ma* and *lam* and after *la*
and *ghayr* is from among the seekers of the consequence *** "
This is rare; its emphasis is rare in these places, "it is rare after *ma*"
How so after *ma*? The *ma* that is extra in non-conditional contexts, the *ma* that is extra in non-conditional contexts, which is negation, the *ma* that is extra in non-conditional contexts is rare, yes. And what is an example? If you say: "By what you stand, I will surely honor you," meaning: by your standing, by what you stand... this is considered a *ma* of verbal noun. And what do you have in the example?
The student: By the eye with which I showed you.
The Shaykh : By the eye with which I showed you, by the eye with which it is better to say "by the eye you see," but it is correct to emphasize it, so he said: "By the eye with which I showed you," except that it is rare.
"And it is rare after *ma* and *lam*"
For example: "Zayd did not stand," "Zayd did not stand," is this permissible or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is permissible, but it is rare, and the more eloquent is "Zayd did not stand."
"And it is rare after *ma* and *lam* and after *la*"
And after *la*, for example: "Zayd does not stand," which negates his standing, "Zayd does not stand," this is rare. And from this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Anfal 8:25] ... Yes, and the fact that we say it is rare while it exists in the Qur'an is somewhat troubling, because "rare" means weak in the Arabic language. "And after *la*" ... it exists in the Qur'an and is the most eloquent thing.
"And *ghayr* is from among the seekers of the consequence"
What is this from the seekers of the consequence? Because *ghayr* is from among the tools of the condition, because the seekers of the consequence are the tools of the condition, for example: "If you stand, I will honor you," "If you stand," is this rare or not?
The student: A little.
The Shaykh : And what is the most common?
The student: If you stand.
The Shaykh : "If you stand, I will honor you," "If you stand, I will honor you," this is the most common, but it is correct, though rare, to say: "If you stand, I will honor you." So this makes it clear that the present tense verb is sometimes emphasized with *ghayr*... Sometimes it is obligatory with four conditions: that it occurs as a response to an affirmed future oath, is this so?
The student: Not separated.
The Shaykh : Not separated between it and the *lam* by a separator, and it is prohibited if one of those conditions is lacking. It is prohibited, and if you wish, say: it is prohibited in every case where it is not emphasized, and this is more general. It is prohibited in every case where it is not emphasized, meaning no cause requiring emphasis exists in it, this is the meaning. It is prohibited in every case where no cause requiring emphasis exists. Okay, is it common after? *Imma*, after *imma* from the seekers of the consequence, and what is the example?
The student:.
The Shaykh :[Al-Isra 17:23], , [Al-Anfal 8:57] ... And it is rare after the tools of the condition other than *imma* and after *ma*, *lam*, and *la*, and Allah knows best.
and *ghayr* is from among the seekers of the consequence *** "
This is rare; its emphasis is rare in these places, "it is rare after *ma*"
How so after *ma*? The *ma* that is extra in non-conditional contexts, the *ma* that is extra in non-conditional contexts, which is negation, the *ma* that is extra in non-conditional contexts is rare, yes.

"And it is rare after *ma* and *lam*"
For example: "Zayd did not stand," "Zayd did not stand," is this permissible or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is permissible, but it is rare, and the more eloquent is "Zayd did not stand."
"And it is rare after *ma* and *lam* and after *la*"
And after *la*, for example: "Zayd does not stand," which negates his standing, "Zayd does not stand," this is rare. And from this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively
واتّقوا فتنة لا تصيبنّ الذين ظلموا منكم خاصّة"And *ghayr* is from among the seekers of the consequence"
What is this from the seekers of the consequence? Because *ghayr* is from among the tools of the condition, because the seekers of the consequence are the tools of the condition, for example: "If you stand, I will honor you," "If you stand," is this rare or not?
The student: A little.

The student:
