Is there any figurative language in the Arabic language?

Question : And it was found that there is a wall that must be applied to the non-existence of figurative language in the Qur'an.

Answer : Yes, yes, this is intended. In fact, the correct view in our school is that of Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), who held that there is no figurative language in the Qur'an, nor in anything else, not even in the language itself. The strange thing is that Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) spoke in a way that is the opposite of those who said that nothing in the language is literal; that all language is figurative. So if Zayd stands up, they say this is figurative, and if Zayd comes, they say it is figurative. It is a strange thing. No, it is correct that I hold the view of Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), because the word intended is the meaning, and words are nothing but clothes. Just as a man wears a cloak, a shirt, trousers, a waistcloth, and a mantle, yet he remains the same person, so the intended thing is the meaning. Therefore, you will find that a word in its context does not allow for any meaning other than the one for which it was brought. If you came with a meaning other than the one for which it was brought, it would be contrary to the apparent meaning. For example, if I say, "I saw a lion carrying a bag to the school," no person can say that the lion here means the known beast, never, and it does not occur to their mind. Thus, the speech is used in its literal sense, because that is what comes to mind from the context.
