كَذَلِكَ لَمْ يُحْتَجْ إِلَى رَابِطٍ ، كَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى : ﴿ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ ﴾ ، فَهُوَ : مُبْتَدَأٌ ، وَاللهُ أَحَدٌ : مُبْتَدَأٌ وَخَبَرُهُ ، وَالْجُمْلَةُ خَبَرُ الْمُبْتَدَإِ الْأَوَّلِ ، وَهِيَ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِهِ ؛ لِأَنَّهَا نَفْسُهُ فِي الْمَعْنَى ؛ لِأَنَّ « هُوَ » بِمَعْنَى الشَّأْنِ ، وَكَقَوْلِهِ : « أَفْضَلُ مَا قُلْتُهُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ

Similarly, no connector is required, as in the Almighty's words: "Say, He is Allah, the One." Here, "He" is the subject, while "Allah is One" acts as a subject and predicate. The entire sentence functions as the predicate for the initial subject, linked to it because they are identical in meaning; "He" here carries the sense of the matter at hand. This is like the saying: "The best thing I and the prophets before me have said is: There is no god but Allah."

وَظَرْفاً مَنْصُوباً ، نَحْوُ : وَالرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَجَاراً وَمَجْرُوراً ، كَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، وَتَعَلُّقُهُمَا بِمُسْتَقِرٍّ أَوِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَحْذُوفَيْنِ

It may also be an adverb in the accusative case, such as: "The caravan was lower than you," or a prepositional phrase, such as: "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds." In both cases, they are attached to an implied "mustaqirr" or "istaqarra".

أَيْ : وَيَقَعُ الْخَبَرُ ظَرْفاً مَنْصُوباً ، كَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى : ﴿ وَالرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ ﴾ ، وَجَاراً وَمَجْرُوراً ، كَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى : ﴿ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴾ وَهُمَا حِينَئِذٍ مُتَعَلِّقَانِ بِمَحْذُوفٍ وُجُوباً تَقْدِيرُهُ مُسْتَقِرٌّ أَوْ

This means the predicate can appear as an adverb in the accusative, like the Almighty's words: "The caravan was lower than you," or as a prepositional phrase, like: "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds." In these instances, they are attached to an obligatorily omitted term, understood as "mustaqirr" or "istaqarra."
