The Shaykh : He said:
"And omit, for a pause, in other than necessity *** the dependent phrase, except the open one, in the hidden"
The pronoun has a dependent phrase, which is also known. You say: "I hit him with a severe hit," "I passed by him," yes? "Sleeping," this is a dependent phrase. He says:
"And omit, for a pause"
The lam is for causation, meaning: for the sake of the pause, in other than necessity. As for in a state of necessity, you do not omit it, because every thing has its ruling.
"The dependent phrase, except the open one, in the hidden"
The dependent phrase of the hidden pronoun, and the dependent phrase of the open one is omitted, or is it not?
The student: It is not omitted.
The Shaykh : It is not omitted, so you say: "I saw her," the alif remains, you do not omit it. But if it is closed or broken, you omit its dependent phrase, so you say: "Zayd, I hit him," "Zayd, I passed by him," correct or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : And you do not decline it? Meaning, you answer with the dependent phrase, you say: "Zayd, I passed by him," "Zayd, I passed by him," incorrect. But in our colloquial language, we say: "Hind, I hit her," what do you say about this language?
The student: An error.
The Shaykh : Incorrect, because he says:
"The dependent phrase, except the open one, in the hidden"
Except the open one in the hidden. As for the dependent phrase of the open one, it must remain and not be omitted.
