وإما تشبيه مركب بمركب
Or a composite scene is likened to another composite scene.
Both compared terms comprise several coordinated features. One classical image likens flashing swords above battlefield dust to bright stars scattered across the darkness of night. It is insufficient simply to equate “dust” with “night” and each sword with an individual star.
The common configuration combines a dark background, gleaming elements, spatial positioning and movement. Treating every element as an isolated simile can therefore destroy the overall effect of the composite likeness.
