الثالث أنه لم يأت لهذا المعنى في القرآن نظير في موضع واحد ولا أنكره أحد حتى يقيم سبحانه الدليل عليه
The third is that there is no counterpart to this meaning in any part of the Quran, nor has anyone denied it to necessitate that God establishes evidence for it.
الدَّلِيلَ evidence
This noun 'the proof/evidence' is the direct object of 'establish', carrying the object ending, made definite by 'the'. It names what God would set up; the object ending marks its role.
كل المخلوقات دليل عليه فلا يقال هذا دون هذا،
All creatures are evidence of Him, so it cannot be said that this one is lesser than that one.
دَلِيلٌ a sign
This is the predicate of a verbless statement, 'are evidence', describing 'all the creatures'. Arabic says 'X is evidence' with no word for 'are', and the -un ending marks it as an indefinite description applied to the subject.
وَدَلِيلٌ هَذَا أَنَّ إِنْتِفَاعَ النَّاسِ بِتَصَانِيفِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِينَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ إِنْتِفَاعِهِمْ بِمَا يَسْتَفِيدُونَهُ مِنْ مَشَايِخِهِمْ؛
The proof of this is that people benefit more from the works of earlier scholars than from what they gain from their teachers.
وَدَلِيلٌ and a proof
This couples a linking 'and' to a noun that opens a new claim, 'a proof'. The 'and' continues the argument and the noun is the topic being set up; together they launch 'and the proof of this is...'. Its indefinite shape presents it as 'a piece of evidence'.
