Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And His saying, the Exalted: What is its grammatical analysis? What is it? It is an attribute for a deleted noun, meaning they said, "The true statement." Yes, they said, "The true statement." It is not correct for it to be the object of "said," because the statement is not made the object of "said" except by a sentence or something that means a sentence. The statement is not made the object of "said" except by a sentence or its meaning, either a sentence, as in His saying, the Exalted: [Maryam 19:30] Where is the statement being said? [Maryam 19:30] A sentence, or something that means a sentence, like when you say, "I said."
