الْمَبْحَثُ الثَّانِي: هَذِهِ الْأَدَوَاتُ كُلُّهَا أَسْمَاءٌ إِلَّا «إِنْ» وَعَلَى هَذَا فَنَقُولُ: إِنْ حَرْفُ شَرْطٍ جَازِمٍ يَجْزِمُ فِعْلَيْنِ: الْأَوَّلُ هُوَ فِعْلُ الشَّرْطِ، وَالثَّانِي جَوَابُ الشَّرْطِ.

Second Topic: All these particles are nouns except for 'in' (if). We therefore classify 'in' as a conditional particle that governs two verbs: the first is the condition, and the second is the response.

أَمَّا مَا عَدَاهَا فَتَقُولُ مَثَلًا: «مَا» اسْمُ شَرْطٍ جَازِمٍ يَجْزِمُ فِعْلَيْنِ: الْأَوَّلُ فِعْلُ الشَّرْطِ، وَالثَّانِي جَوَابُهُ.

Regarding the others, you would say, for example, that 'ma' (what) is a conditional noun that governs two verbs: the first is the condition, and the second is its response.

الْمَبْحَثُ الثَّالِثُ: الْجَزْمُ يَكُونُ إِذَا كَانَ فِعْلُ الشَّرْطِ وَجَوَابُ الشَّرْطِ مُضَارِعَيْنِ مِثْلُ: «إِنْ تَجْتَهِدْ تَنْجَحْ».

Third Topic: The jussive mood applies when both the condition and the response are present-tense verbs, such as in the phrase: 'in tajtahid tanjah' (if you work hard, you will succeed).
