وَتَفْسِيرٍ لِلْمَقَاصِدِ بَعْدَ تَمْهِيدٍ، وَتَكْثِيرٍ لِلْفَوَائِدِ مَعَ تَجْرِيدٍ
Explaining the intended points after proper introduction, and enriching the discussion while keeping it focused.

Tamhīd supplies the background needed to understand what follows. Tafsīr of the aims clarifies the intended point. Tajrīd isolates what is relevant instead of burdening the argument with unrelated detours; it does not mean removing necessary substance.

A worked sequence:
1. Define the relevant term 'attributes.'
2. Identify the exact proposition.
3. Examine supporting evidence and objections.
4. Exclude digressions that do not bear on the question.

Enrichment means better connected and more intelligible knowledge, not indiscriminate length.
