«لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ»
“To its credit is what it has earned, and against it is what it has earned.”
The contrasted uses of lahā and ʿalayhā convey benefit versus liability. Ṭibāq therefore need not be limited to two nouns or two verbs.
«أَوَمَنْ كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَاهُ»
“Is one who was dead and whom We gave life...?”
Here maytan is nominal and aḥyaynāhu verbal, but the opposition between death and life remains clear.
