Reading from Ibn Aqil’s commentary (may Allah have mercy on him), with the Shaykh’s annotations: " .
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Jafar: all are root letters, all of them are root letters, the jim, the 'ayn, the fa, and the ra are all root letters, yes? Or no?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : How do we say it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : The difficult point is that Jafar has no extra letters among the letters, so we can ... so what do we say?
The student: We double it.
The Shaykh : We double the lam, so we say for Jafar, fa'ala-l, is that right?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Why don't we say fa''ala, fa''ala for Jafar?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, he says: because he says the final letter is more deserving of being repeated, yes. For this reason, we said that the lam is the one that is doubled, not the 'ayn. Otherwise, if we said fa''ala for the pattern of Jafar, there is no doubt, but they say: the final letter is more deserving. This is from one side. From another side, doubling the lam is generally easier than the 'ayn. The 'ayn comes out of the throat, and then perhaps one becomes hoarse or something when he intensifies it, yes, he coughs, and then we start with the rest of the word. But the lam, yes, the lam is easy. So we say for the pattern of Jafar, fa'ala-l. Good. "And the qaf of fastq" Is fastq all root letters? Yes?
The student: All of them.
The Shaykh : All of them are root letters, and what do we say for its pattern?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Fu''ul. Do you know what fastq is? I have a doubt about its seed, is it or what is it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ... people say fistiq ... its outer shell is dry, and inside it is a kernel.
The Shaykh : Like almonds?
The student: Close to it.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : ... you will answer for us, if Allah wills, like what we brought ...
The student: I did not know it.
The Shaykh : Strange, good, yes.
The reader: "If the pattern of a word is sought, its root letters are matched with fa, 'ayn, and lam; its first letter is matched with fa, its second with 'ayn, and its third with lam. If a root letter remains after these three, it is referred to by lam.
If it is asked: What is the pattern of daraba? Say: fa'ala. What is the pattern of Zayd? Say: fa'ala. What is the pattern of Jafar? Say: fa'ala-l. What is the pattern of fastq? Say: fa'ala-l, and the lam is repeated according to the root letters.
If there is an extra letter in the word, it is referred to by its own form".
The Shaykh : Good, qama (he stood)?
The student : An action.
The Shaykh : No, O Shaykh.
The student: Fa-la.
The Shaykh : It has an extra letter, the alif.
The student: It is a root letter.
The Shaykh : A root letter?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence? A verb or a noun cannot be less than three letters, meaning it is not possible for a transitive verb to be less than three letters unless it is altered, or no? Good, so if we said the pattern of qama is fa-la, it would not be correct, because that would imply it is less than three letters. So we say its pattern is?
The student : An action.
The Shaykh : Fa'ala, khafa (he feared)?
The student : An action.
The Shaykh : We do not want the extra letters, give it a pattern?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student : An action.
The Shaykh : A mistake.
The student: The sukun of the alif.
The Shaykh : How? Khafa.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, a verb cannot have a sukun on the 'ayn.
The student: Fa'il.
The Shaykh : Fa'il, yes, fa'il, good, nama (he slept)?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : We do not want the extra letters, yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Fa'il, yes, because nama is nawim in its origin, for this reason ynama (he sleeps) came, so it is from the chapter of fa'ala yaf'alu, like fariha yafrih (he was glad, he is glad). Qama?
The student: Qawam.
The Shaykh : Qawam, yes, good, mashy (he walked).
The reader: "If there is an extra letter in the word, it is referred to by its own form. So if it is asked: What is the pattern of darrab? Say: fa'ila. What is the pattern of jawhar? Say: fa'ila. What is the pattern of mustakhrij? Say: mustaf'il".
The Shaykh : Mustakhrij.
The reader: "Mustakhrij. This is if the extra letter is not a doubling of a root letter. If it is a doubling, it is referred to by what was used to refer to that root letter, which is what is meant by his saying".
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : How do we say it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : The difficult point is that Jafar has no extra letters among the letters, so we can ... so what do we say?
