Is it valid to negate with *ghayr* by relying on the subject on the negation in the statement of the one who says, "Not standing is Zayd"? How do we say that, given that here *ghayr* is parsed as a subject, not as standing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding this example, O Shaykh, *ghayr*!

The Shaykh : Likewise, *ghayr* is not limited; *ghayr* standing is the two men.

The questioner : Now, *ghayr* has become wanting to be the subject!

The Shaykh : Huh?

The questioner : *Ghayr* has become the subject.

The Shaykh : What is it?

The questioner : It is the subject.

The Shaykh : Yes, but it is attached to a description.

The questioner : It originally wants to rely on [something].

The Shaykh : It is attached to a description, and this construction indicates negation: *ghayr* standing is the two men, meaning: if you wanted to make *ghayr* here the predicate, it would not be valid, for one does not predicate a singular noun of a dual noun.

The questioner : Shaykh!

The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: Regarding this, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
