«كَيْفَ حُكْمُ سِيرَتِكَ مَعَ جِيلِكَ وَجِيرَتِكَ؟»
What is the character of your conduct toward your people and neighbours?
Kayfa ḥukmu sīratika asks about the character of a pattern of conduct, not a single isolated act. Jīlika wa-jīratika broadens the social setting to the addressee’s community and neighbours.
A definition of kindness would not fully answer the question. The hearer is being asked how he actually deals with people. The speech act shifts discussion from an ideal principle to accountable everyday behaviour.
Practice: Why is ‘people should act well’ incomplete? The question asks about this person’s conduct.
