Continuation of the explanation of Ibn Malik's (may Allah have mercy on him) saying: "So make it accusative with the verb that occurs in it, if it is explicit *** or if not, then intend it as implied."

The Shaykh :"So make it accusative with the verb that occurs in it, if it is explicit *** or if not, then intend it as implied"
"If it is explicit" means: it is apparent, so it is not needed. If not, it is intended as implied. The example of the explicit here: "Stay." Where is the verb that occurs in it?
The student: Stay.
The Shaykh : "Stay" is explicit. Now, for example, you say: "How long did you stay in this place?"
The student: One hour.
The Shaykh : You say: "An hour," meaning: I stayed for an hour. Here, is the verb that occurs in it explicit or implied?
The student: Implied.
The Shaykh : Implied. That is why he said "then intend it as implied". So the rule has become clear to us. What is the rule in defining the adverb of time and place? Every time or place that contains a meaning in a consistent manner. Every time or place that contains a meaning in a consistent manner is this definition, and it is in the first verse. By what is it made accusative? It is made accusative by the verb that occurs in it, meaning: by the thing in which it occurred, whether that is a verb or something standing in the place of a verb. For example, the verb: "I sat with you for an hour," this is a verb. "I am sitting with you for an hour," this is standing in the place of a verb or following its course. The third rule from the last verse is that the verb in it can be explicit and it can be implied. So the explicit is explicit, is that right, Ghannam? And the implied is implied, yes?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : ... with you?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : Strange, you were silent for a day ...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : You were silent for a day. What is explicit? Is the adverb now and its verb explicit?
The student: Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : How long were you silent?
The student: A day.
The Shaykh : Its verb?
The student: Silent.
The Shaykh : Implied or explicit?
The student: Manifest.
The Shaykh : No, I am telling you: How long were you silent? And you said: A day.
The student: No, implied.
The Shaykh : Implied. So this is it. Has it become clear?
The student: It is clear.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
