Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Go on, go on, may Allah guide you.
The reader: " And so, a hamzah and a mimm that precede ... three letters, their being root letters is to be verified
That is, the hamzah and the mimm are judged to be extra if they precede three root letters, as in Ahmad and Mukram. If they precede two root letters, they are judged to be root letters, as in Ibl and Mahd ".
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Preceded, meaning ...
The Shaykh : Preceded by what is contrary, yes. Now, how many extra letters have we passed through?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, what we have passed through now are three places: the hamzah and the waw?
The student: And the ya.
The Shaykh : And the ya. Now, the nun?
The student: And the hamzah.
The Shaykh : And the hamzah. The important point is the place of their addition: if they precede three root letters, if they precede three root letters, then they are extra. Did the hamzah in Ahmad precede three root letters or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Because it is ha, mimm, and dal, so the hamzah is therefore extra. But did the questioner ask if the hamzah is not extra or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Fine, there is no question, did he exit?
The student: It is extra.
The Shaykh : It is extra because it preceded three root letters. The mimm, if it precedes three root letters, is extra. Mukrim?
The student: It is extra.
The Shaykh : How is it extra? Did it precede three root letters?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Kaf, ra, mimm, so it is extra. Did he prevent it?
The student: It preceded two.
The Shaykh : How? It preceded two? If it preceded two, then it is not extra. Fine, Ibl?
The student: Original.
The Shaykh : Because it did not precede three root letters. Mahd?
The student: Original.
The Shaykh : It is a root letter. Fine, let's go.
The reader: " Likewise, a final hamzah after an alif *** whose pronunciation is more than two letters is an extra letter
That is, the hamzah is judged to be extra if it occurs at the end after an alif that is preceded by more than two letters, such as Hamra, 'Ashura, and Qas'a. If two letters precede the alif, the hamzah is not extra, such as Kisaa and Rida; the hamzah in the first is a substitute for a waw, and in the second, a substitute for a ya. Likewise, if one letter precedes the alif, as in Ma' and Da' "
The Shaykh : What Allah willed. If the hamzah is preceded by three letters, it is extra. And if it is preceded by three root letters, it is extra. Complete. It is extra in the first case and extra in the second. If it is preceded by three root letters, it is extra. Fine, did he give?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh? Did he give?
The student: It preceded three root letters.
The Shaykh : If it preceded three root letters, it is extra. That is why the pattern of 'Ata is Af'al. Yes, fine, let's go.
