فِي هَذِهِ الْأَمْثِلَةِ نَاصِبٌ ظَاهِرٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ النَّوَاصِبِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ مَفَرٌّ مِنْ إِضْمَارِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا فِي كُلِّ مِثَالٍ، فَمَا ذَلِكَ النَّاصِبُ الَّذِي نُضْمِرُهُ أَوْ نُقَدِّرُهُ؟

In these examples, there is an apparent accusative particle from these four particles; there was no escape from concealing one of them in every example, so what is that accusative particle which we conceal or estimate?

لِمَعْرِفَةِ ذَلِكَ نَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَمْثِلَةِ الْقِسْمِ الثَّانِي، فَنَجِدُ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَفْعَالَ نَفْسَهَا مَسْبُوقَةٌ بِلَامِ التَّعْلِيلِ وَمَنْصُوبَةٌ بِأَنْ الظَّاهِرَةِ، وَهَذَا دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ (أَنْ) هِيَ الَّتِي تُضْمَرُ أَوْ تُقَدَّرُ بَعْدَ اللَّامِ فِي أَمْثِلَةِ الْقِسْمِ الْأَوَّلِ.

To know that, we look at the examples of the second section, and we find that these verbs themselves are preceded by the lam of causation and are made accusative by the apparent 'an', and this is evidence that 'an' is what is concealed or estimated after the lam in the examples of the first section.

وَلَمَّا كَانَتْ (أَنْ) النَّاصِبَةُ لِلْفِعْلِ الْمُضَارِعِ تَظْهَرُ بَعْدَ لَامِ التَّعْلِيلِ تَارَةً، وَتُضْمَرُ تَارَةً أُخْرَى، كَانَ ذَلِكَ دَلِيلًا عَلَى أَنَّ الْإِضْمَارَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ جَائِزٌ.

And since 'an', which makes the present tense verb accusative, appears after the lam of causation sometimes, and is concealed other times, that was evidence that concealment in this position is permissible.
