سَرَّتْنِي رُؤْيَتُكَ
Seeing you delighted me.
Delighting is ascribed to “seeing.” Seeing may function as a cause of joy, but that fact alone does not conclusively settle whether the whole predication is figurative: ordinary Arabic also uses verbs with their effects or causes.
The example raises an advanced question: must a real agent actually exist externally for every action before rational figurative predication becomes possible? Another issue is what ordinary usage already permits the verb “sarra” to express. Different treatments of such cases should not be compressed into a single mechanical rule.
