LessonsJamʿ, Tafriq and Taqsim: Individual, Combined and Exhaustive FormsQuiz

وهو أن يجمع بين متعدد اثنين أو أكثر في حكم
It is to bring two or more items together under one judgment.

The figure requires a plurality of referents and a shared predication. The items need not be identical in all respects; one relevant judgment is sufficient to unite them in the passage.

Example:
“Knowledge and forbearance both increase a person's worth.”
Knowledge and forbearance are distinct qualities, but both are placed under the judgment of enhancing human worth.

A mere list of several nouns is not the figure in its full sense if no shared predicate or ruling has been supplied.
