إنِ اجْتَهَدَ زَيْدٌ فَسَيَنْجَحُ وَإِنْ قُلْتَ: إِنِ اجْتَهَدَ زَيْدٌ سَيَنْجَحُ.

If Zayd strives, he will succeed. The same applies if you say: If Zayd strives, he will succeed.

الْمَبْحَثُ الْخَامِسُ: أَنَّ كُلَّ جَوَابٍ اقْتَرَنَ بِالْفَاءِ فَإِنَّ الْجَزْمَ يَكُونُ مَحَلِّيًّا.

Fifth Topic: Any conditional response connected by the particle fa is considered jussive by position.

أَيْ: إِنَّكَ تَقُولُ: الْجُمْلَةُ فِي مَحَلِّ جَزْمٍ جَوَابَ الشَّرْطِ؛ وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ الْعَامِلَ لَا يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى لَفْظِهِ إِنَّمَا يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى مَحَلِّهِ وَمَوْضِعِهِ.

In other words, you state that the sentence occupies the position of a jussive response to the condition. This is because the governing agent does not act upon the wording itself, but rather upon its location and position.
