Reading from the author's text with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "Therefore, this expression is not used except in what was abandoned by combining the two

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "Therefore, this expression is not used except in what was abandoned by combining the two, such as His saying, the Exalted:
Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange. أفتتخذونه وذريته أولياء من دوني وهم لكم عدو بئس للظالمين بدلا
[Al-Kahf 18:50]
and His saying
and We replaced their two [fields of] gardens with gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisks and something of sparse lote trees. وبدلناهم بجنتيهم جنتين ذواتي أكل خمط وأثل وشيء من سدر قليل
[Saba 34:16]
and His saying
But those who wronged changed [those words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them فبدل الذين ظلموا قولا غير الذي قيل لهم
[Al-Baqarah 2:59]
and His saying
do not substitute the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs] ولا تتبدلوا الخبيث بالطيب
[An-Nisa 4:2]
. And from this is the hadith regarding the one in the grave, where it is said to him
Look at your seat in the Fire; Allah will replace it for you with a better seat in Paradise. And it is said to the other: Look at your seat in Paradise; Allah will replace it for you with a seat in the Fire. انظر إلى مقعدك من النار أبدلك الله به خيرا منه مقعدا في الجنة ويقال للآخر انظر إلى مقعدك من الجنة أبدلك الله به مقعدا من النار
and the saying of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to al-Bayd: What has become of your poetry? He said: Allah has replaced it for me with al-Baqarah and Aal 'Imran. And this is common in speech. So his saying, peace and blessings be upon him:
Allah has substituted for them something better than them إن الله قد أبدلكم بهما خيرا منهما
Sunan Abi Dawud 1134Sahih (Al-Albani)
necessitates abandoning the combination of the two, especially since his saying:
better than them necessitates خيرا منهما يقتضي
taking in exchange what was legislated for us from what was in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance?
Also, his saying to them:
Allah has substituted إن الله قد أبدلكم
Sunan Abi Dawud 1134Sahih (Al-Albani)
when he asked them about the two days and they answered that they were two days in which they used to play in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, is evidence that he prohibited them from them, taking in exchange the two days of Islam; for if he had not intended the prohibition, mentioning this replacement would not have been appropriate, since the original legislation of the two days of Islam was known to them, and they would not have left them for the sake of the two days of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. And in the saying of Anas: And they had two days in which they used to play, and the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him:
Allah has substituted for them something better than them إن الله قد أبدلكم بهما يومين خيرا منهما
Sunan Abi Dawud 1134Sahih (Al-Albani)
is evidence that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) understood from the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family:
He has replaced them for you أبدلكم بهما
a compensation with the two days that were replaced. Also, those two, those two days of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance died in Islam, so no trace of them remained in the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, nor in the time of his successors. And if he had not prohibited people from playing in them and the like of what "

The Shaykh : remained
The reader: "they would have remained on the custom, for customs are not changed"
