Reading from Ibn Aqil’s commentary (may Allah have mercy on him), with the Shaykh’s annotations: " .
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And the limit of a name, if it is stripped of additions, is five letters".
The Shaykh :"Five letters, if"
The reader: "And the limit of a name, if it is stripped of additions, is five letters".
The Shaykh : No, the hamza is a hamzat al-wasl.
The reader: "And if more are added to it, it does not exceed seven"
A name is of two types: one with additions and one stripped of additions. The one with additions is that in which some of its letters are dropped .
The Shaykh : Dropped.
The reader: "Dropped in its original formation, and a name with additions reaches at most seven letters, such as *ahranjam* and *ashayyab*".
The Shaykh : And *ashayyab*.
The student: What does it mean?
The Shaykh : *Ashayyab* means it became gray. This is a difficult one. The garment next to you?
The student: Gray.
The Shaykh : Gray.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : *Ashhab* becomes *ashhab* *ashhabab*, just as *ahmar* becomes *ahmar* *ahmarar*.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: *Ashhabab*.
The Shaykh : No, *ashhabab* is a verbal noun, yes.
The reader: "The one stripped of additions is that in which some of its letters are not dropped in its original formation, and it is either trilateral, like *fals*, or quadrilateral, like *Ja'far*, or quintilateral, which is its limit, like *sufrajil*".
The questioner: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, it is the one in which some of its letters are not dropped, meaning nothing is dropped from its letters. The author's wording contains something, but the meaning is that nothing is dropped from its letters. This is the stripped name, yes, the one from which nothing is dropped. For example: *fals* is on the pattern *fa'l*, nothing is dropped from its letters. But for example, if I say: *Mustafa*, this is one with additions. What is dropped?
The student: The mim.
The Shaykh : The mim, and the taa in *Mustafa*, because it is from *al-safwa*, from *al-safwa*.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Its original form is *safa*, its original form is from *al-safwa*, so the original letters in it are the sad, the fa, and the waw, which is the alif maqsura, yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : How?
The student: Some names that are not firmly established are mentioned.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Like *fals* and *sufrajil*.
The Shaykh : Why is it not firmly established? It is firmly established and has additions.
The Shaykh :"Five letters, if"
The reader: "And the limit of a name, if it is stripped of additions, is five letters".
The Shaykh : No, the hamza is a hamzat al-wasl.
