The Shaykh : Then he said, "And it is of two types"; the pronoun refers back to the substitute for the actor.
"Of two types, explicit and implicit. The explicit is like saying: 'Zayd was struck,' and 'Zayd is being struck,' and 'Amr was honored,' and 'Amr is being honored'"; "was struck" is past tense, and "is being struck" is present tense; "was honored" is past tense, and "is being honored" is present tense.
The author here (may Allah have mercy on him) did not repeat the examples as he did in the chapter on the actor. In the chapter on the actor, he provided the singular, the dual, the sound masculine plural, and the broken plural. Here, he only provided the singular. We say this because the substitute for the actor takes the place of the actor; so whatever was an example there is an example here. So we say: "Zayd was struck." Make it dual: "The two Zayds were struck." Make it a sound masculine plural: "The Zayds were struck." "The Zayds were struck." Good.
Make it from the five nouns: "Your brother was struck." This means that what was not a valid example for the actor is a valid example for the substitute for the actor. Good.
