I was also thinking for the first sentence that "this" shouldnt change... But i consulted two books and found they didnt change it.... I was also confuse about it..

He sqid,"i will leave you now"
He said that he would leave them then
Even sir bukhari nay jo correction karwai unho ny b that hi likha hoa wahan pe.

He used this rule only when he is mentiong towards any object...
