Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And attribute to the beginning of a phrase and the beginning of what *** is compounded by blending, and to the second, complete it
with an addition beginning with Ibn or Ab, or to what requires definition by the second, it is obligatory
in everything other than this, attribute to the first *** what has not been made ambiguous, like 'Abd al-Ashhal.'"
These three verses, regarding the compound, contain some proper names that are phrases, like?
The student: Shabab Qarnana.
The Shaykh : Like what they say, Ta'abbat Sharra, we seek refuge in Allah from evil, Ta'abbat Sharra, or al-Shanfar, originally they say al-Shann Furri, and the third? Shabab?
The student: Qarnana.
The Shaykh: Qarnana, Shabab Qarnana, O 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Dawud, is the name of a man, the name of a man, Shabab Qarnana.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, no, Shabab Qarnana is the name of a man, is he called by this name or not?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It is correct, there is no doubt, but we do not want to tell you about the old man Shabab Qarnana, a man named by this name, well, if we want to attribute to this phrase, we attribute to its beginning, so we say in Ta'abbat Sharra, if we want to attribute to it, we say in it? Ta'abbati, 'Abd Allah al-Ta'abbati came, meaning attributed to? Ta'abbat Sharra, al-Shanfar? 'Abd Allah al-Shanni came, attributed to? al-Shann Furri, Shabab Qarnana, what do you say?
The student: al-Shaybi.
The Shaykh : 'Abd Allah al-Shaybi came or al-Shabi?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Shabab, we say al-Shabi, Shabab is the beginning of the phrase, and the apparent meaning of Ibn Malik's words is that it is not permissible to attribute to its end, so we do not say in Ta'abbat Sharra, in attributing to it, we say al-Shari came, or in Shabab Qarnana, al-Qarni came?
The student: Baalbek?
The Shaykh : Huh? No, it is not after "came," it will come, if Allah wills, in the next lesson, yes?
The student: Ta'abbat Sharra?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh :"And the beginning of what *** is compounded by blending"
The compound compounded by blending, and it is a proper name, a proper name in which two words are joined, one to the other, not by way of attribution, if it were by way of attribution, it would be an attributive compound, but it is by way of mixing, and therefore it is called blending, and blending is mixing, so it is as if we blended these two words until they became?
The student: One word.
The Shaykh : One word, and therefore its grammatical case is on the last part, like Hadramawt, Hadramawt, something happened in it, it became "Hadara mutun" (a city died), then the first word was compounded with the second and they were made a name?
The student: To one.
The Shaykh : For one, Hadramawt, so when we attribute to it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : The requirement is that we say Hadri, Hadri, but they inserted a mim with the first word, so they say?
The student: Hadrami.
The Shaykh : Hadrami, well, Baalbek?
The student: Baalbi.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Baalbi.
The Shaykh : The author says: "And the beginning of what *** is compounded by blending"
Baal Bek, Baal Bek, when we attribute to Baalbek?

"And the beginning of what *** is compounded by blending".

in everything other than this, attribute to the first *** what has not been made ambiguous, like 'Abd al-Ashhal.'"
