Peace Mazhar,
Sorry to be the first to tell you this but unfortunately the original Arabic is a conjecture, lie. Moreover, your translation "Allah sent blessings, help, approval, to him " is incomplete. What happened to " "? Why did you cut it off and not translate it?
Can you please translate the complete statement so that you and everyone can see for sure if it is a lie as I am 100% sure or not?
Peace and all best wishes,
Ayman
Peace Ayman,
is the "wa salam" another verb????
How would you then translate , i mean word by word as official translation is "Praise aand peace on him" or smth like that.
And I would be very greatfull to have your translation of 3356.Peace

Brother Mazhar
You owe me a reply for the post below. Where are you?
Sorry Wayfinder for the delay, yesterday I had gone to Lahore. I am just back.
Recommencing/Conjunction particle-
Verb Perfect, third person; SINGULAR; masculine.
Noun Definite; masculine; PLURAL; NOMINATIVE. This is the SUBJECT of Verb . When the subject is mentioned specifically after the verb and even if it is plural, the verb will always be singular and there will be no subject pronoun in the verb.
Proper noun in accusative state; object of the verb.Verb Perfect; masculine; third person + attached pronoun for third person; masculine; plural, subject of the verb referring back to plural noun .
If you see any syntactic analysis you will find that the subject of the verb is either suffixed to the verb referring back to the noun mentioned earlier which will always match to that noun in plurality or is specifically mentioned after the verb which may or may not match in plurality.

Brother Mazhar,
Thank you for your reply and lateness does not matter. However, I would like you to spare me the technicals unless they can tell me something different from what I already know.
Answer these questions please
After all what you wrote,
- Did it change the face that the subject of the verb (qaaloo) is other than Saharah(magicians)?
If yes, then you can continue...
If No, then just accept it that the subject can very well appear in front of the verb and it is infact very usual usage as well... You asked me to bring proof from quran and this is what I did...
You do not have any need to look for dwameer mustatir since the faa3il is zaahir and it is saharah.
This is a clear proof that the subject of the verb is infact before the verb in that verse.. even after the analysis, it does not change anything to this fact. Had the subject been ommitted, then you could have speculate with
You need to be practical and not stick to the book... Arabic is first of all a logical language.

You need to be practical and not stick to the book... Arabic is first of all a logical language.
And how it seems logical? Because of its principles. And the principle is strict grammer rule that subject of the verb comes after the verb. The pronoun "Waw" referring to masculine, plural, third person is the subject of verb Qaloo. In no translation you will find it omitted. "They" said and it will leave no room for anyone to attribute it to anyone except those particular group of people who had come to Firaun. That is the precision of Arabic.

I am asking you again, please answer clearly.. does it change the fact that the subject of the verb.. those who performed the action... those who perfected/completed the action... are the saharah/magicians... does all your explanation and technicals change this fact? Yes or No?
-

It refers to them only through the pronoun which is the subject of the verb. Can you deny this? Yes or no!

Firstly... why would you reply my question with another question? ... So please, as i stated... answer me clearly with a yes or no.
Secondly..Which pronoun? Do you see any?
Moreover, i have another example for you, check 1230 which says
http//c0022506.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/12_30.png
Muhsin Khan - And women in the city said "The wife of Al-'Aziz is seeking to seduce her (slave) young man, indeed she loves him violently; verily we see her in plain error."
Another clear example of a subject coming before a verb. Would you deny that IS NOT the subject performing the action of seducing?
-
Wayfinder,
You are repeating the same old story. Here again "the wife of Aziz" is the subject of the noiminal sentence and not the subject of verb. The subject of the verb is the hidden pronoun, "singular third person, feminine" referring to her and the verb, subject and then the possessive phrase indicating the object of verb with suffixed pronoun referring back to "her" the subject of the nominal sentence is the predicate of nominal sentence.
It refers to her only through the pronoun which is the subject of the verb. Can you deny this? Yes or no!

Which pronoun? Which hidden pronoun? No one is seeing any pronoun here...
SO, you are denying via your nominal sentence that the action of 'seducing' was not done by the Wife of Al-Aziz... right?

Way finder,
You are quite well understanding that I have given you the grammatical analysis of the sentence. The subject of the verb comes after the verb in Arabic and you have very well understood it. All translators used the pronoun as subject of the verb. We are talking about structure of the Arabic sentence and not that of structure of English translation where subject is mentioned before the verb. "She" is a pronoun referring back to the subject of the sentence about whom information is shared amongst women.

but the subject (wife of Aziz) has come before the verb (seduce), unless you are claiming she wasnt the subject until the pronoun 'ha' in 'her slave boy' made it so?

Peace Brother Mazhar,
I am willing to repeat myself once again and just skip me all the technicals by giving me the clear answer I need, whether YES or NO. If you are taking so much time to write the technicals trying to convince me that the subject is NOT in front of the verb... then it would be easier to write a big NO.. These technicals are not bring anything new here... No matter how many times you will write it... I hope you can understand... Because, even after you made all these explanations, none of them was SUCCESSFUL in CHANGING THE FACT that the person who DID/PERFORMED/COMPLETED the verb of SEDUCE was none other that the WIFE OF AL_AZIZ... So, I will ask you for the last time...
Do you agree that the person who made the action(subject) was the wife of Al-Aziz? YES OR NO?
Whether nominal or verbal sentence, the fact remains true. Therefore, you should not have stated that in arabic subject NEVER comes before the verb.. this is where I disagree...
Moreover, after giving it a second thought.. WHY did you ASK me to bring PROOF from the QURAN? What kind of proof were you expecting if not as those already presented to you.
Again.. Skip all the technicals.. I need just a clear answer... this is it.
Peace

Whether a hidden pronoun is referring back to the WIFE or whatever else.. the fact does not change that it was the WIFE who did the action... therefore the subject... And you can see this as well.
-
but the subject (wife of Aziz) has come before the verb (seduce), unless you are claiming she wasnt the subject until the pronoun 'ha' in 'her slave boy' made it so?
You are talking about the object of verb and not subject of verb. Let me quote the simple rule.
If the subject is a pronoun referring to an antecedent , the verb will match the antecedent in plurality. If the subject is mentioned after the verb separately and specifically, the verb will be singular masculine or singular feminine despite the plurality of the subject.Look at the first verb of the Ayat "Qala". It is masculine, singular, third person perfect verb, and has built in hidden pronoun of third person singular masculine. But when the subject is mentioned after it separately and specifically it is not said to have pronoun of third person masculine singular referring to antecedent. After "Qala" is "" who are the subject of the verb.
And these two words comprising a masculine singular verb and after it an indefinite plural feminine subject is telling something which do not find mention in almost all translations.

As if I did know all of this already... Anyways,I think it would be foolish on my part to question you again on this... Whenever you decide to give me a clear answer instead of the i3raab... feel free to do so...

Whether nominal or verbal sentence, the fact remains true. Therefore, you should not have stated that in arabic subject NEVER comes before the verb.. this is where I disagree...
You keep insisting from the point of view of English grammer where the subject may mean only one thing. In Arabic the "subject" is referred to two things, in nominal sentence it is the translation of "" and for "" i.e. the doer of act/verb is also translated as "subject of verb". And the Subject of Verb is always after the verb, either as suffixed/hidden pronoun referring back to the antecedent or separate noun, for which the rules are different, as mentioned earlier. Only because of this there can never be any confusion in understanding the whole sentence alongwith subordinate clauses.

Let me just inform you that all these things are not alien to me... I have studied nahou, ilm sarf as well as i3raab.. I am an arabic teacher by profession... What you are failing to see is the real message of the verse... your focus is on the technicals.. I cannot change anything to that...
I think we should just agree to disagree here... even though I brought my proof.. lets just move on
Peace
