The Shaykh : He said:
"And it was said regarding al-Marmay, Marmawi *** and Marmay was chosen in their usage"
We have previously established that what is attributed to a doubled yā' is... what has not been heard?
The student: It is deleted.
The Shaykh : It is deleted; the first yā' is deleted, and a new yā' of attribution is brought in place of it. So, what is the attribution to al-Shāfi'ī?
The student: Shāfi'ī.
The Shaykh : Shāfi'ī, is that right?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Marmay? And what is the attribution to it?
The student: Marmay.
The Shaykh : Marmay, this is the rule. However, it came from the Arabs that they said regarding al-Marmay: Marmawi. But look at the word "it was said" in "it was said regarding al-Marmay"; what does "it was said" indicate? It indicates weakening. For this reason, he said:
"and Marmay was chosen in their usage"
So you say: "Marmawi came," and you say: "Marmay came." "Marmay came"—is Marmay an attribution to Marmā or not?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh? Or not?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Marmay, you see, is an attribution to Marmay, it is not an attribution to Marmā. It is an attribution to Marmay, so we say in it: Marmawi, and we say?
The student: Marmay.
The Shaykh : Marmay.
