Arabs only divide words into

Nouns - Ism
Verbs - Fa’l
Particles - harf

Harf includes both haruuf zaman and haruuf jar. Both in English are known as prepositions. And after both the word will be in the genitive case known in Arabic as majruur.

The mention of Salau alayhi wasalm twice was an error in my typing which I noticed later. Sorry for that.

The verb cannot be in the active voice and this is indicated by the waw in يؤخذ . For it to be in the active it has to be يأخذ . The root of the word is أخذ Words which have Hamzah seated on an Alif as the first letter take waw with hamza on it in the passive voice.

And what part of the English sentence doe not make sense? I am assuming it is the double illa which has been used. It will make sense if you take the phrase “after the Prophet” to be a prepositinal phrase acting as an adjecitve in English. In that case it is a Fadl in Arabic, which means a phrase giving extra information without which the sentence is compelte. Hence, for a minute omit it and it would read

There is nobody except his sayings will be taken and rejected except for the Prophet.

Now if the first illa is confusing you then note that the phrase except followed an entire sentence is used by the Arabs often is different from the English exceptive clause. You have to add the idea of “in a state” along with the clause which is a sort of descriptive clause after the illa. So you would say

There is no one except (he is in the state) that his sayings will be taken and rejected except the Prophet (PBUH).

Peace brother ZeeshanParvez

The zaroof (Zarf) I was talking about are a special kind of ism … We call it (Zarf) adverb in English. It is because they decline whereas the haruf are mabnee … Al-Yawma is an example of Zarfu-zaman and huna is an example of zarfu-makan… I’m sure you have done this … Anyway …

I still don’t understand the sentence being formed in English. I’m busy at the moment but shall inshaAllah take another look later. If I still don’t understand it there might be a problem that I might have to just accept an opinion on it … A kind of taqleed perhaps? I agree it must be passive the first verb gives it away as you rightly stated the second verb will follow the first verb in state so the waw here is of inclusion not of separation.

also … I know ba’d means “after” … But what about when it appears as a Zarf shibhu-jumla? .. When it appears as a shibhu-jumla then it can take the meaning “some of” … May be that will help?
