وَالسَّادِسُ «لَعَلَّ» وَهُوَ يَدُلُّ عَلَى التَّرَجِّي أَوِ التَّوَقُّعِ، وَمَعْنَى التَّرَجِّي: طَلَبُ الْأَمْرِ الْمَحْبُوبِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا فِي الْمُمْكِنِ نَحْوَ: «لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَرْحَمُنِي»، وَمَعْنَى التَّوَقُّعِ: انْتِظَارُ وُقُوعِ الْأَمْرِ الْمَكْرُوهِ فِي ذَاتِهِ، نَحْوَ: «لَعَلَّ الْعَدُوَّ قَرِيبٌ مِنَّا».

The sixth is 'la'alla' (perhaps), and it indicates hope or expectation; the meaning of hope is seeking a beloved matter, and it only occurs with what is possible, such as: 'Perhaps Allah will have mercy on me,' and the meaning of expectation is awaiting the occurrence of a matter that is disliked in itself, such as: 'Perhaps the enemy is near us.'

ظَنَّ وَأَخَوَاتُهَا.

Zanna and its sisters.

قَالَ: وَأَمَّا ظَنَنْتُ وَأَخَوَاتُهَا فَإِنَّهَا تَنْصِبُ الْمُبْتَدَأَ وَالْخَبَرَ عَلَى أَنَّهُمَا مَفْعُولَانِ لَهَا، وَهِيَ: ظَنَنْتُ، وَحَسِبْتُ، وَخِلْتُ، وَزَعَمْتُ، وَرَأَيْتُ، وَعَلِمْتُ، وَوَجَدْتُ، وَاتَّخَذْتُ، وَجَعَلْتُ، وَسَمِعْتُ، تَقُولُ: ظَنَنْتُ زَيْداً قَائِماً، وَرَأَيْتُ عَمْراً شَاخِصاً، وَمَا أَشْبَهَ ذَلِكَ.

He said: As for 'zanantu' (I thought) and its sisters, they make the subject and the predicate accusative on the basis that they are two objects for them, and they are: 'zanantu', 'hasibtu', 'khiltu', 'za'amtu', 'ra'aytu', 'alimtu', 'wajadtu', 'ittakhadtu', 'ja'altu', and 'sami'tu'; you say: 'I thought Zayd was standing,' and 'I saw Amr present,' and what resembles that.
