The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "If Interpretation Comes After a Context That Reveals the Intended Meaning, It Is Rejected with Disapproval; and If Concealment Comes After Indications of the Circumstances, It Is the Most Ugly Form of Concealment"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"If interpretation comes after a context that reveals the intended meaning, it is rejected with disapproval"
This is correct. If interpretation, which is diverting the wording from its apparent meaning, comes after a context that reveals the intended meaning, what is the status of this interpretation?
The student: It is invalid.
The Shaykh : It is rejected with disapproval and is not accepted.
"And if concealment comes after indications of the circumstances, it is the most ugly form of concealment"
This is also correct. If concealment comes after indications of the circumstances, it becomes one of the ugliest forms of concealment. For example, the case of the man we mentioned, Hayy ibn Akhtab. These indications of the circumstances show that he has existing wealth. Yes.
The student: I read about him in the context...
The Shaykh : Which one?
The student: ... his speech
The Shaykh : ... is far-fetched. Yes.
The reader: "And 'Above' is an established attribute"...
The Shaykh : No, be patient, before that, before that "So reflect"
