  He said, "Write it for me." I said, "May God set you right; only young people write this."

  الأحداث — young people. The al- makes this plural definite, 'the' young ones, the group meant. Despite coming last, it is the doer of 'writes' under the 'only' restriction, so it serves as the delayed subject, 'only the young write this'.
