Is it correct to consider His saying, the Exalted: “A group fighting...”, as the predicate of a deleted subject?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
one fighting in the cause of Allah فئة تقاتل في سبيل الله
[Ali 'Imran 3:13]
Is this group a description?

The Shaykh : He says: It is permissible for us to make
one fighting in the cause of Allah فئة تقاتل في سبيل الله
[Ali 'Imran 3:13]
the predicate of a deleted subject, with the implied meaning: “One of them is a group fighting.” This is correct. What he mentioned is one of the grammatical interpretations of the verse, meaning it is permissible for us to make
A group فئة
the predicate of a deleted subject, the implied meaning being: “One of them.” However, the scholars have established a principle, O Hidayat Allah, which is: if it is possible for the speech to be understood without an implied deletion, that is preferable. We have passed over this in what? In grammar, and also in the principles of jurisprudence. That the speech should be understood, if possible, without deletion. If you say: “A group selling and a group renting,” the division divides these people into this category and those people into that category.
