فيستشرف غير السائل له
The non-questioner becomes expectant of the information.
Istishrāf evokes looking up or attending toward something; here it denotes focused anticipation of a report. Failure to ask aloud does not prove the absence of an unspoken question.
Visible situation: no question has been spoken.
Contextual clue: the listener is already attentive to the anticipated news.
Rhetorical result: the speaker may respond as though questioned. The classification depends on mental context, not simply interrogative wording.
