     ‏وَٱلْمَلَكَاتُ لَا تَحْصُلُ إلَّا بِتَكْرَارِ الْأَفْعَالِ، لِأَنَّ الْفِعْلَ يَقَعُ أَوَّلًا، وَتَعُودُ مِنْهُ لِلذَّاتِ صِفَةٌ، ثُمَّ تَتَكَرَّرُ فَتَكُونُ حَالًا. وَمَعْنَى الْحَالِ أَنَّهَا صِفَةٌ غَيْرُ رَاسِخَةٍ ثُمَّ يَزِيدُ التَّكْرَارُ فَتَكُونُ مَلَكَةً أَيْ صِفَةً رَاسِخَةً.‎‎

     wal-malakātu lā taḥṣulu ʾillā bitakrāri l-ʾafʿāli, liʾanna l-fiʿla yaqaʿu ʾawwalan, wataʿūdu minhu li-ḏ-ḏāti ṣifatun, ṯumma tatakarraru fatakūnu ḥālan. wamaʿnā l-ḥāli ʾannahā ṣifatun ḡayru rāsiḵatin ṯumma yazīdu t-takrāru fatakūnu malakatan ʾay ṣifatan rāsiḵatan.
