The Shaykh :
and think that you had not remained وتظنون إن لبثتم
[Al-Isra 17:52]


The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : It does not stand unless the verbal sentence can be the predicate of the subject, and it is in the position of the accusative, like “I thought Zayd is playing,” for example, so the sentence becomes a predicate and is in the position of the accusative.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Be patient. “You think that you have stayed but a little time.” As for “You think you stayed a little time,” this is what stands. Yes.
