LessonsLaff wa Nashr: Ordered, Unordered, Explicit and Collective FormsQuiz

﴿وَمِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ﴾
By His mercy, He made for you night and day so that you might rest therein and seek His bounty. (Al-Qaṣaṣ 28:73)

The laff lists night followed by day. The nashr presents rest and the pursuit of livelihood. The first function is associated with night, the second with day, preserving the initial order.

Rather than repeat the two nouns beside each purpose, the verse allows the listener to restore the relation through the known purposes of night and day. This is an explicit, ordered illustration.
