The Shaykh :"So the context of words is like the evidence of the *** circumstances, for they are two twins for us"
"One is witnessed by the eye *** but that is for the human ear"
"If ***" "If ***"
Yes, the context of words is like the evidence of circumstances; each of them clarifies the intended meaning. The evidence of circumstances is sometimes like explicit speech. Perhaps the story of Salam ibn Mishkam is not far from you, when he denied the wealth of Huyayy ibn Akhtab and said that he had not left any wealth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning how did it go? Here is a skin from the skin of a bull, meaning the hide of a bull. The point of this is that the circumstances became like explicit speech, like the evidence of words, as if this circumstance said to them that he had wealth and his wealth had not been exhausted. He says:
"One is witnessed by the eye ***" These are the circumstances
"*** but that" means the context of words
"*** for the human ear" If a person hears something and understands the context, he knows its indication of the intended meaning, and the context makes the intended meaning through the circumstances as if it were explicit.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The wealth is much and the covenant is recent
المال كثير والعهد قريبThen the man was handed over to al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, and when the punishment touched him, he said: "Be patient, I see Huyayy ibn Akhtab circling around this ruin, so search for his wealth." They searched for his wealth and found it buried in this ruin, and it was a full bull's hide of dinars and gold.
ثم دفع الرجل إلى الزبير بن العوام فلما مسه بعذاب قال اصبر أنا ارى حيي بن أخطب يحوم حول هذه الخربة فابحثوا عن ماله فبحثوا عن ماله فوجدوه مدفونا بهذه الخربة وإذا هو ملء مسك ثور من الدنانير والذهب"One is witnessed by the eye ***" These are the circumstances
"*** but that" means the context of words
"*** for the human ear" If a person hears something and understands the context, he knows its indication of the intended meaning, and the context makes the intended meaning through the circumstances as if it were explicit.
