If they argue with you, say to them: *** This is *majaz* (figurative language), and it is a second usage (Explanation of what the *mu'attil* uses as evidence against the *Suni*: The first stage of the *mu'attil* is his claim of *majaz*)

The Shaykh :"If they argue with you, say to them *** This is *majaz*..."
If they argue with you using the apparent meaning of the text and say, "This is the apparent meaning of the text: *istawa* means He rose above the Throne," say, "This is *majaz* (figurative language)." Then say to them, "Yes."
"Say to them *** This is *majaz* (figurative language), and it is a second usage"
*Majaz*, as defined by the scholars of rhetoric, is using a word with a second usage, meaning in other than what it was originally established for. It is using a word in other than what it was originally established for, due to a relationship indicated by a context that prevents the literal meaning. Do you understand? *Majaz* is using a word in other than what it was originally established for, due to a relationship indicated by a context that prevents the literal meaning. So, is *majaz* a second usage or the first? The second. "Lion" was originally established for the predatory animal, then established secondly for the brave man. Good.
