And likewise, what has been prescribed for the Muslims in their prayers, call to prayer, pilgrimage, and festivals in remembering Allah, the Exalted.
It is only with complete statements.
As the caller to prayer says: (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, I testify that there is no deity but Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).
And the one praying says: (Allah is the Greatest, glory be to my Lord the Great, glory be to my Lord the Most High, Allah hears the one who praises Him, our Lord, to You belongs all praise, all greetings are for Allah).
And the one responding to the pilgrimage call says: (Here I am, O Allah, at Your service).
And the likes of that.
For everything that Allah has prescribed as remembrance is complete speech, not a single word nor an explicit or implicit noun.
And this is what is called in language (a word) as his saying:
"Two words light on the tongue, heavy on the scale, beloved to the Most Merciful: Glory be to Allah and with His praise, Glory be to Allah the Great."
And his saying: "The best word said by a poet is the word of Labid: Behold, everything other than Allah is futile."
And from it His, the Exalted, saying: 'Grievous is the word that comes out of their mouths.'
And His saying: 'And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and justice.'
And the likes of that from the usage of the term (the word) in the Book and the Sunnah, as well as the rest of Arab speech, for it indeed means the complete sentence.
Just as they used to use (letter) for the word, saying: This is a strange letter, meaning the word itself is strange.
And Sibawayh divided speech into noun, verb, and letter that comes for meaning, not as a noun or a verb.
And each of these categories is called a letter.
But specifically the third, it is a letter that comes for meaning, not as a noun.
