Why must it be deleted if it is superfluous?

The student: If we neglect the first one, do we not make it implicit if it is superfluous?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The student: Why?
The Shaykh : The reason is that a superfluous element is permissible to delete, and if you introduce it and its referent is later, it returns to a later referent.
The student: In wording and rank.
The Shaykh : In wording and rank, and there is no need for that, so we deleted it.
The student: It says "the companion."
The Shaykh : Yes, because it is not permissible, because the original rule for the delay of the pronoun, that is, the pronoun referring to a later referent in wording and rank, is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity, and there is no dire necessity here. But if you make the first one active and make the second one implicit, the pronoun refers to a later referent in wording, not in rank.
