What should one do if there is no credible context for an alleged implied mushākalah?
Murāʿāt al-Naẓīr, Corresponding Endings, Irṣād and Mushākalah
- Classify every lexical similarity as mushākalah
- Use rhyme alone as proof of an implied companion
- Negate the opening statement instead of checking context
- Do not invent an implied companion; treat the classification as unproven
