LessonsIṭnāb: Tadhyīl, Takmīl (Iḥtirās), and TatmīmQuiz

An earlier sentence may imply a conclusion without explicitly stating it. If the appended sentence reinforces that understood implication, it exemplifies confirmation of the implied meaning (taʾkīd al-mafhūm). One must distinguish the overt proposition from the consequence inferred from it.

For example, one statement may suggest that faultless companionship is rare; a following general principle about human imperfection could strengthen that implication. The latter would not merely repeat the former's explicit words; it would support the conclusion the listener draws from them.
