Explanation of the words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): "And replace it with an alif after an open vowel *** in stopping, just as you say in qifan, qifa."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And replace it with an alif after an open vowel *** in stopping, just as you say in qifan, qifa"
He said:
"And drop the light one before a following sukun *** and after anything other than an open vowel when you stop"
... Abdullah
"And add an alif before it as a confirmer *** to a verb attached to the nun of the feminine plural
And drop the light one before a following sukun *** and after anything other than an open vowel when you stop"
And after an open vowel when you stop?
The student: Replace it with an alif.
The Shaykh : Replace it with an alif. He said "and after anything other than an open vowel"; the implication is that if it is after an open vowel, what do I do? Here, the author says:
"And replace it with an alif after an open vowel ... in stopping, just as you say in qifan, qifa"
And you say: in idribun?
The student: Idriba.
The Shaykh : Here? Idriba.
"And replace it with an alif after an open vowel"
What does the pronoun in "replace it" refer to? It refers to the light nun of emphasis, not the heavy one. For the heavy one, you say idribunna, or idribun when you stop, making it silent. As for the light one, it is converted into an alif. The discussion on the nun of emphasis is finished. The summary is: the nun of emphasis follows the verb, either obligatorily, or?
The student: Permissibly.
The Shaykh : Permissibly with rarity, or permissibly with frequency, or permissibly with frequency under the conditions of obligation, according to the previous details. We mentioned an example upon which a legal ruling is based: if you say, "By Allah, I will fast," "By Allah, I will fast."
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, I said, "By Allah, I will fast." Is that an oath?
The student: He owes an expiation.
The Shaykh : Is there an expiation upon him according to the school of whom?
The student: According to the school of Abu Hanifa.
The Shaykh : According to the school of Abu Hanifa. If you say, "By Allah, I will fast," the expiation is obligatory upon you, even though you are fasting now, "By Allah, I will fast."
The student: Its original form is: I will not fast.
The Shaykh: Here? Its original form?
The student: I will not fast.
The Shaykh : I will not fast, because you cannot drop the nun of emphasis with an oath unless it is negated. So, if we want to correct the speech according to the Arabic language, the estimation is: "By Allah, I will not fast." If you fast, you break your oath. But it was mentioned to us that some scholars said: even if this is what the Arabic rules require, oaths are interpreted?
The student: According to custom.
The Shaykh : According to custom. If a person says, "By Allah, early, I will fast," meaning "By Allah, I will fast, I, by Allah, early, I will fast," what does that imply?
The student: That he will fast.
The Shaykh : That he will fast, and it does not imply that he said "I will not fast." Now, His saying, the Exalted: Here?
The student: The estimation is: You do not cease.
The Shaykh : The estimation is: By Allah, you do not cease, in order for it to be correct. Otherwise, if it were an affirmation, he would say: "By Allah, you cease," he would say: "By Allah, you cease indeed." Now, five minutes, do you want to read?

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : ...
The questioner : The two she-camels?
The Shaykh : The two donkeys.
