وروي عن ابن سلام أنه قال: السناد في القوافي مثل شيب وشيب؛

As for the alternation of the two vowels, it is in places: among them is that they changed the form of the genitive for words that do not take tanwin to the form of the accusative, so they said 'marartu bi-Amr' as they said 'darabtu Amra', so it is as if the fatha of the 'ra' of Amr compensated for the kasrah that should have been there if the noun were declined, saying 'marartu bi-Amr'.

قال: وقول سيبويه هذا باب المسند والمسند إليه؛ المسند هو الجزء الأول من الجملة، والمسند إليه الجزء الثاني منها، والهاء من إليه تعود على اللام في المسند الأول، واللام في قوله والمسند إليه وهو الجزء الثاني يعود عليها ضمير مرفوع في نفس المسند، لأنه أقيم مقام الفاعل، فإن أكدت ذلك الضمير قلت: هذا باب المسند والمسند هو إليه.

He said: And Sibawayh's saying, 'This is the chapter of the predicate and the subject'; the predicate is the first part of the sentence, and the subject is the second part of it, and the 'ha' in 'ilayhi' refers to the 'lam' in the first 'al-musnad', and the 'lam' in his saying 'and the subject', which is the second part, a raised pronoun refers to it in the predicate itself, because it stands in place of the subject, so if you emphasize that pronoun, you say: 'This is the chapter of the predicate, and the predicate is to it'.
