«زيد أسد»
Zayd is a lion.
Both the person and the animal are expressed; with courage intended, a resemblance can be understood. By contrast, “I saw a lion addressing the troops” can use the word “lion” to denote a brave human, provided the context clearly excludes the animal.
The source keeps the definition of simile distinct from technical forms of explicit metaphor (الاستعارة التحقيقية), implied metaphor (الاستعارة بالكناية), and tajrīd (التجريد). Having an element of resemblance does not make every rhetorical construction the same type.
Full analysis belongs to later sections. For the present lesson, preserve the distinction between an expressed comparison and a term transferred to an associated referent.
