«أطلع الشمس تبغي أن تؤم بنا فقلت كلا ولكن مطلع الجود»
Do you seek the sunrise to guide us? I said: no, rather the rising of generosity.
The verse begins with a question about sunrise and then redirects the image to the emergence of the praised person’s generosity.
The link rests on brightness, manifestation and benefit. The listener can follow the shift because the image makes the second purpose intelligible.
