Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then it said:
"And the proper noun, prevent its declension if compounded"
The proper noun in the accusative case, or is the proper noun permissible in the nominative case?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is permissible, but it is the weaker position, because here the focus is on the object of the verb, and if the object of the verb is the focus, what is the stronger position? What is the stronger position?
The student: The accusative case.
The Shaykh : The accusative case.
"And the proper noun, prevent its declension if compounded *** by a compound of mixing, like Ma'di Karib"
Do you have "like" in the accusative case?
The student: With the nominative case.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: With the nominative case.
The Shaykh : In the nominative case, "And the proper noun, prevent its declension if compounded *** by a compound of mixing", meaning that if we find a proper noun compounded by a compound of mixing, it is prevented from declension. And the meaning of mixing is: blending, as if you blended the two words and made them one word, you blended them and made them one word. I am now, if I say: Abdullah, these are two adjacent words, because "Abd" has a meaning, right?
The student: By Allah, it has a meaning.
The Shaykh : By Allah, it has a meaning, but if you take two words and blend them and make their indication refer to one thing, this is called what kind of compound?
The student: A compound of mixing.
The Shaykh : Mixing means: blending, you blended the two words and made them for one thing, like: Ma'di Karib. The origin of Ma'di is a passive participle, a passive participle is an independent word, and Karib is an independent word, a past tense verb. You blended them and made them one thing, Ma'di Karib is one person. We say this is called a compound of mixing from mixing, which is blending. So if we find a proper noun compounded by a compound of mixing, whether it is a proper noun for a person or a place, it is prevented?
The student: From declension.
The Shaykh : From declension. The preventer of it from declension is the proper noun status and the compound of mixing, the proper noun status and the compound of mixing. For example: Ma'di Karib, you say: I passed by Ma'di Karib, right? "I passed" is a verb and a subject, and "by" is a preposition, and Ma'di Karib is a noun in the genitive case by "by," and its sign of the genitive case is the fatha in place of the kasrah because it is a noun that is not declined. And the preventer of it from declension, the preventer of it is the proper noun status and the compound of mixing. Good, another example of it?
The student: Hadramawt.
The Shaykh : Baalbek, this is also, its origin is Baal, right? And Bek, so the two names were blended and made one name. So we say, for example: I resided in Baalbek, "I resided" is a verb and a subject, and "in" is a preposition, and Baalbek is a noun in the genitive case by "in," and its sign of the genitive case?
The student: The fathah.
The Shaykh : The fatha in place of the kasrah because it is a noun that is not declined, and the preventer of it from declension is the proper noun status?
The student: And the compound of mixing.
The Shaykh : And the compound of mixing, and also?
The student: Hadramawt.
The Shaykh : Hadramawt. The important thing is that if it is compounded by a compound of mixing and it is a proper noun, then it is prevented from declension. And this cause, which is the compound of mixing, does not exist in the adjective, it does not exist in the adjective, it only exists?
The student: In proper nouns.
The Shaykh : In proper nouns only.
"And the proper noun, prevent its declension if compounded"
The proper noun in the accusative case, or is the proper noun permissible in the nominative case?
The student: Yes.
