Third: Genitive case for a governed noun attached to a word lacking the definite article 'al' but not in a genitive construction, as in: 'al-ḥasanu wajhi abin'.

Fourth: Genitive case for a governed noun lacking both the definite article 'al' and a genitive construction, as in: 'al-ḥasanu wajhun'.

فَمَعْنَى كَلَامِهِ « وَلَا تَجْرُرْ بِهَا » أَىْ بِالصِّفَةِ الْمُشَبَّهَةِ ، إِذَا كَانَتِ الصِّفَةُ مَعَ أَلْ ، اسْمًا خَلَا مِنْ أَلْ أَوْ خَلَا مِنَ الْإِضَافَةِ لِمَا فِيهِ أَلْ ، وَذَلِكَ كَالْمَسَائِلِ الْأَرْبَعِ
