The reader: " The intended meaning of his statement:
And if the added letter is a duplicate of a root letter *** then assign it in the meter what is assigned to the root letter "
The Shaykh : Here, this is an exception. Note that if the added letter is added in its own form, that is sufficient. However, in this specific case, if the added letter is a duplicate of the root letter, it is assigned what is assigned to the root letter. So if the added letter is a duplication of the *'ayn*, we duplicate the *'ayn*. Did you understand? That is why he said:
" And if the added letter is a duplicate of a root letter *** then assign it in the meter what is assigned to the root letter "
Yes.
The reader: " So you say for the meter of *aghuddun*: *fa'w'ul*, expressing the second *dal* with *'ayn* just as you expressed the first *dal* with it, because the second is its duplicate. And you say for the meter of *qatala*: *fa'tal*, and for the meter of *karama*: *fa'tal*, expressing the second with what you expressed the first with. It is not permissible to express this added letter with its own form, so do not say for the meter of *aghuddun* *fa'w'dul*, nor for the meter of *qatala* *fa'tal*, nor for the meter of *karama* *fa'w'l* ".
The Shaykh : Huh?
The reader: " *Fa'w'l* ".
The Shaykh : *Karama* ... follow another meaning there, which is, ... but in *qatala*, yes, there is an added letter. As for *fa'w'dul*, is the *dal* not one of the added letters, or is it?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : Okay, *qatala* *fa'tal*. Meaning, if we did not follow this rule, what would we say for its meter?
The student: *Fa'tal*.
The Shaykh : *Fa'tal*, because the *ta* is one of the added letters. Okay, this third one, *karama*, what do we say?
The student: *Fa'alal*.
The Shaykh : First, because the *ra* is one of the added letters, correct? And second, it is a duplication of its root letter, and a duplicated root letter must be brought in the meter of that original root letter. Yes, time is up.
The student: The duplicated letter, O Shaykh, is not necessarily ...
The Shaykh : ...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: " As for the first, the *waw* "
The Shaykh : Read, read ... then, let us take the letters of *sam-sam*.
