Is magnification expressed through the dual form?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... magnification?

The Shaykh : Magnification cannot be expressed through the dual form, which indicates restriction. It is correct to express magnification through the plural form, as in
It runs with our eyes تجري بأعيننا
. However, it cannot be expressed through a restricted number of two, because the dual form indicates restriction to a specific number, namely two, and nothing else. It is not possible. It is correct to express magnification through the plural form because it indicates greatness. A thing restricted to two, or a pair, cannot indicate greatness; it only indicates that specific number and nothing else. Yes.
