The Shaykh :"And it is better that the pronoun in the predicate be explicit" This verse and the one following it, we read to our Shaykh, Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'di, several times, and we were unable to understand its meaning and structure. We then recited the words of the poet:
"If you cannot do something, leave it *** and move on to what you can do"
It is sufficient for us to know the meaning of the first two verses. As for what he mentioned here, he says:
"And it is better that the pronoun in the predicate be explicit *** for other than what agrees with the explicit noun"
"If you cannot do something, leave it *** and move on to what you can do"
