وَلَيْسَ مِنْهُ « أَزَيْدٌ ذُهِبَ بِهِ » لِعَدَمِ اقْتِضَائِهِ النَّصْبَ مَعَ جَوَازِ التَّسْلِيطِ.

The phrase 'Is Zayd gone with?' does not belong here, as it does not require the accusative case even though it allows for governance.

بَابٌ فِي التَّنَازُعِ، يَجُوزُ فِي « ضَرَبَنِي وَضَرَبْتُ زَيْداً » إِعْمَالُ الأَوَّلِ، وَاخْتَارَهُ الْكُوفِيُّونَ؛ فَيُضْمَرُ فِي الثَّانِي كُلُّ مَا يَحْتَاجُهُ، أَوِ الثَّانِي وَاخْتَارَهُ الْبَصْرِيُّونَ، فَيُضْمَرُ فِي الأَوَّلِ مَرْفُوعُهُ فَقَطْ، نَحْوُ: جَفَوْنِي وَلَمْ أَجْفُ الأَخِلاءَ، كَفَانِي وَلَمْ أَطْلُبْ قَلِيلٌ مِنَ الْمَالِ لِفَسَادِ الْمَعْنَى.

Chapter on Contention: In the sentence 'He hit me and I hit Zayd,' one may grant governance to the first verb, a view favored by the Kufans; in this case, the second verb is assigned whatever it needs implicitly. Alternatively, one may grant governance to the second verb, a view favored by the Basrans, in which case the first verb only implicitly contains its subject. Examples include 'They shunned me and I did not shun the friends,' or 'Sufficed me and I did not request a little of the wealth,' where the latter is excluded due to the corruption of meaning.

يُسَمَّى هَذَا الْبَابُ بَابَ التَّنَازُعِ، وَبَابَ الإِعْمَالِ أَيْضاً.

This chapter is known as the Chapter of Contention, and also as the Chapter of Governance.
