The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, it is simple, right?
The student: And the sin?
The Shaykh : The sin is original. The marker of addition is its pattern (wazn). If you pronounce it with one of its letters, it is extra. If you do not pronounce it?
The student: It is original.
The Shaykh : Then it is original. What is the pattern of "fals" (a coin) and "shuz"? Is it fa'l, like that? Okay, what about "Ja'far"?
The student: Fa'ala.
The Shaykh : Fa'ala, "sufarjal" (quince), fa'ala, correct? Clear? But for example, "qandil" (lamp)?
The student: Fi'layil.
The Shaykh : Fi'layil. So, in "qandil," the ya is extra, or is it not? Like that, O Abd al-Rahman?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : "Qayyim" (standing) is fa'il. Look, you pronounced the alif. As long as you pronounced it in the pattern with its sound, it is the extra letter. So "qayyim" is fa'il. Okay, what about "mustaqim" (upright)?
The student: Mustaf'il.
The Shaykh : Look, "mustaqim" is on the pattern of mustaf'il. It has a change (i'laal) because the original form of "mustaqim" is mustaqim, or is it not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Or, more accurately, mustaqum. The waw moved with a kasrah, so it was changed to a ya, because the movement in the waw was transferred to the static, correct letter before it, so the waw was changed to a ya, and it became "mustaqim." Okay, what about "mustakbir" (arrogant)?
The student: Mustaf'il.
The Shaykh : Mustaf'il. Look, now you pronounced the mim, the sin, and the ta. So, those are the extra letters, yes.
The student: Meaning, every letter before the fa...
The Shaykh : That is the original, and every letter that comes out of it is extra.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Mustafa.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Mustafa.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The extra letters are the mim and the ta.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : This ta is only for femininity; it has no role in the structure of the word.
The student: From "saffa" (elite).
The Shaykh : Yes, from "saffa," yes.
The student: What is the extra letter?
The Shaykh : The extra letters are the mim and the ta that was changed to a tha. The original form of "Mustafa" is "Mustafa," yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : We will complete this, what...
The Shaykh : No, it is simple, right?
