Parallel reading

الثالثة: أهراق بألف قطعية وهاء ساكنة يهريق، بياء بعد الراء عوضا عن الألف الثانية في الماضي.

The third: Ahraqa with a definitive alif and a silent ha, yahriq, with a ya after the ra replacing the second alif in the past tense.

الرابعة: هرق، كمنع بناء على أصالة الهاء.

The fourth: Haraqa, like man'a, based on the originality of the ha.

والخامسة: هي الأصل التي هي أراق إراقة.

And the fifth: it is the original, which is araqa, iraqah.

وقد قالوا: إن أفصح هذه اللغات هراق.

And they have said: the most eloquent of these languages is haraqa.

ثم أهراق بإثبات الألفين، ثم أهرق على أفعل، ثم هرق كمنع.

Then ahraqa with the confirmation of the two alifs, then ahraqa on the pattern of af'ala, then haraqa like man'a.

فالصواب أن يذكر في فصل الراء، وأما الهاء فإنما هي بدل عن ألف التعدية التي لحقت راق، فقالوا: أراق، ثم أبدلوا، فقالوا هراق، كما في المصباح وغيره.

So the correct thing is to mention it in the section of the ra, and as for the ha, it is only a substitute for the transitive alif that attached to raqa, so they said: araqa, then they substituted, so they said haraqa, as in Al-Misbah and others.

فإنه ذكره في باب فعل الثلاثي بغير ألف، وإن تكلف بعض شراحه الجواب عنه بأنه صار في صورة الثلاثي، أو غير ذلك مما لا ينهض.

For he mentioned it in the chapter of the three-letter verb without an alif, even if some of its commentators strained to answer it by saying it became in the form of a three-letter verb, or other things that are not convincing.

ويمكن أن يجاب عنه بأنه قصد إلى ذكر هرق الثلاثي، وأما غيرها من اللغات فذكرها استطرادا.

And it can be answered that he intended to mention the three-letter haraqa, and as for the other languages, he mentioned them incidentally.

وإنما هي بدل عن ألف التعدية، كما مر، وفي أهرق يجب أن تكون أصلية، لأنهم نظروه بأكرم.

It is only a substitute for the transitive alif, as has passed, and in ahraqa it must be original, because they likened it to akrama.

فجاز أن يبدل كل منهما من صاحبه، وذكروا وجوها من الإبدال خارجة عن بحثنا.

So it is permissible for each of them to substitute for the other, and they mentioned instances of substitution outside our discussion.

قال: إنه سمع من العرب قولهم في أراح ماشيته هراح، وفي أراد: هراد، وفي أقام: هقام، ولم يذكروه في شيء من الصحيح أصلا، لم يقولوا في أعلم مثلا هعلم، ولا في أكرم هكرم، فالظاهر اختصاصه به، وأن كلامهم عام فلا يعتد به.

He said: It has been heard from the Arabs their saying for 'araha his livestock: haraha, and for 'arada: harada, and for 'aqama: haqama, and they did not mention it for any of the sound verbs at all, they did not say for 'alima for example, halima, nor for 'akrama, hakrama, so it appears to be specific to it, and their words are general and should not be relied upon.

وقال الجمحي: الهرق، بالكسر: الثوب الخلق وكذلك الدرس والهرس والهدم والطمر.

And Al-Jumahi said: Al-hirq, with kasra: the worn-out garment, and likewise al-dirs, al-hirs, al-hadm, and al-tamar.

ويوم التهارق: يوم المهرجان، وقد تهارقوا فيه: أي أهرق الماء بعضهم على بعض، يعني يوم النوروز.

And Yawm Al-Taharquq: the day of the Mihrjan festival, and they poured on each other on that day: meaning, some poured water on others, referring to the Nowruz festival.

وأما ما رواه اللحياني من قولهم: هرقت حتى نصف الليل فإنما هو أرقت، فأبدل الهاء من الهمزة.

As for what Al-Lahyani narrated from their saying: haraqtu even until midnight, it is actually araqtu, so they substituted the ha for the hamza.
