Explanation of the saying of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): "And like Hayy, the opening of its second letter is obligatory *** and turn it into a waw if it was turned from it"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And like Hayy, the opening of its second letter is obligatory *** and turn it into a waw if it was turned from it"
And like Hayy, the opening of its second letter is obligatory; Hayy must be opened, it is obligatory,
"And turn it into a waw if it was turned from it"
Look, now we have Hayy. The second letter of Hayy is a ya; is it deleted or not? It is not deleted, it remains. But the second letter is turned into a waw. The second letter is turned into a waw, and the first one remains as it is. So, for Hayy, we say Hayawi. As for the second ya, it was turned into a waw according to the previous rule because it is the third letter. As for the first ya, a change occurred in it. What happened?
The student: The fathah.

The Shaykh : The opening. And what was it in the first place?
The student: It was kasrah (short i).

The Shaykh : No, it was sukun (silent) in the first place. Hayy, silent. Because we are attributing, we say "Hayy, the opening of its second letter is obligatory." So you say: Hayawi, Hayawi. If you want to attribute to Hayy, you say: Hayawi. Yes. He said:
"And turn it into a waw if it was turned from it"
But if it is a ya and its original form is ya, it remains as it is and is not turned into a waw. Hayy is derived from what? From life (hayah). So is the second ya in it original or turned? Huh?
The student: Original.

The Shaykh : Is the second ya in Hayy original or turned?
The student: It is turned.

The Shaykh : O brothers, it is original. Hayy is from life. So is the ya original or not? It is original, there is no doubt. Do we say Hayy Zayd or do we say Hway Zayd? Huh?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : If you want to inform that a person is alive, the tree became alive, the tree became hway, correct?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : It is not correct. So the ya is original. In Hayy, the ya is original. The second one remains on its original form, the third one. The first one remains on its original form and the third one is turned into a waw as mentioned before, so we say Hayawi. The author says: "And turn it into a waw" the second of the like of Hayy
"And turn it into a waw if it was turned from it"
Meaning, if the first ya in the like of Hayy was turned from a waw, then it is returned to its original form. For example: Tayy, in which there is a shaddah ya after the first letter, like Hayy, Tayy?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Like Hayy, but the ya in Tayy, the first ya is turned from a waw. Its original form is Taww. The original of Tayy is Taww. But for a morphological reason, the ya was turned into a waw. When we attribute to Tayy, huh, do we say?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, no, this is Tayy. We say: Tawwi. We say in it: Tawwi. Where did the waw come from? We have two waws?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : We returned it to its original form. And the second ya, its original rule is that it is turned into a waw when attributing, or not?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : So at that time we say: Tawwi. Do you attribute to Layy?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, Lawwi. Lawwi, like this? Because Layy is originally from Lawwa, yawwi, lawwan. And in our colloquial language, do we say Layy or Law?
The student: Layy.

The Shaykh : No, in colloquial we say: Lawwi. This is what he twisted, he twisted it greatly, he twisted it greatly, or not? So the correct is he twisted it?
The student: Layyan.

The Shaykh : Layyan greatly. Okay, you want to attribute to Shayy. Do you know what Shayy is?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : If you roast, for example, meat or not? Okay, Shayy you say: Shawwi. Shawwi, its original is waw from Shawa, yashwi. The first ya, its original is waw because it is from Shawa, yashwi, like Tawa?
The student: Yatawi.

The Shaykh : Yatawi, Lawwa, yawwi, like this?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Shawa means what?

The Shaykh : He roasted it, he roasts it, shayan. Yes, yes, he roasted it, he roasts it...
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, not Shay meaning the thing. No, for the thing we say Shayyi, yes?
The student: Nawwi?

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: From Nawa?
The student: Nawwi.

The Shaykh : Yes, from a town called Nawa. Okay, now we have Nawah. How do we attribute to Nawah?
The student: Nawwi.

The Shaykh : Nawwi. The date pit. Do you know the date pit?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes. What is the nuclear bomb? The date pit. One person, for example, takes the pit from the date and sells it. We say so-and-so?
The student: Nawwi.

The Shaykh : Nawwi. And in our language? What do we call the pit?
The student: 'Abas.

The Shaykh : We say?
The student: 'Abasi.

The Shaykh : 'Abasi. And what do they call it, Fasun? Huh?
The student: Fasuni.

The Shaykh : Fasuni.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : What?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Dates.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, where do you get the waw from? Tamri. You do not enter into the author's speech with a verb and a verb?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Huh? Because Tamr has a silent middle letter, not a moving one, so it remains as it is and we say in it Tamri.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes. Then the author said.
