Turning prose into poetry.
الحل
Unfolding poetic verse into prose.
التلميح
Alluding to a known story, poem or proverb without reproducing it fully.
ʿAqd and ḥall alter the literary form of prior wording, while talmīḥ relies on recognition of a brief allusion. When an audience identifies the implied story or proverb, the shortened reference can carry extensive associations. Recasting a verse into prose should not automatically be labeled taḍmīn.
