«قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُمْ مِنَ الْقَالِينَ»
“He said: I am among those who detest what you do.”
Qāla means “he said,” while al-qālīn means “those who detest.” They sound close but do not share the same derivational root. This is apparent derivation.
A true derivational figure relies on a common root; an apparent one relies on surface resemblance. Keeping them apart protects both morphological accuracy and rhetorical analysis.
