Muqābalah first presents two or more meanings that fit together in an ordered group, then gives corresponding counter-meanings in the same order. It is thus an organized set of contrasts, beyond a single pair of antonyms.
أن يؤتى بمعنيين متوافقين أو معان متوافقة على الترتيب، ثم بما يقابل ذلك على الترتيب
Two or more coordinated meanings are presented in order, then meanings opposed to them are brought in the corresponding order.
Order matters. The first component of the first sequence normally corresponds to the first component of the second, and so on.
