Parsing the last three verses of this chapter.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: "And as you think, make 'say' *** Inquiring about it, and it is not separated
By a preposition or like a preposition or a verb *** And if you separate it with some of it, it is possible
And treat the statement as 'think' absolutely *** When sound grammar says, say 'this is fearful'"

Good, he (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "As you think, make 'say'"
The original rule of this root is that it does not take an object; rather, its statement comes as a clause. This is the original rule, and for this reason, the "in" after it is broken, as Allah the Exalted said:
He said, "Indeed, Abdullah" قال إن عبد الله
This is the original rule. You say: "I said, Zayd is standing," and you do not say, "I said, Zayd standing." As long as the intended meaning is speech, it does not take two objects, but it takes the clause as the statement of the speech. However, it may come with the meaning of "think." When it comes with the meaning of "think," it functions like "think," as the author says: "And as you think, make 'say'" The parsing of this phrase: "as you think" is the second object of "make," placed before it. "Say" is the first object. The intended meaning of the phrase is: "Make 'say' like 'think.'"
"If it is inquired about with it" This is a conditional clause. "Inquired about" is the verb of the condition. Where is the answer to the condition? It was said that there is no need for an answer in such a construction. It was also said that the answer is omitted, indicated by what came before, meaning: If it is inquired about with it, then make it like "say."
He said: "And it is not separated by a preposition or like a preposition" The pronoun in "is not separated" refers to what? Yes, meaning: "Say" is not separated from what follows it by a preposition or like a preposition. If it is separated by a preposition or something resembling a preposition and the prepositional phrase, then that does not affect it, because they are lenient with prepositions and prepositional phrases in ways they are not lenient with others. Or "function," meaning it functions with the second statement, then it does not harm.
He said: "And if you separate it with some of it, it is possible" It remains with its function. And his saying: "If you separate it with some of it" This clause is conditional, and the verb of the condition is "separated," and the answer to the condition is possible.
