لَا تَبْرَحْ مِنْ مَكَانِكَ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ

The source presents this as an address to a person of equal standing. Its function is a practical, interpersonal request rather than an assertion of superiority. This is iltimās.
“Lā tabraḥ” consists of prohibitive lā and a jussive imperfect. “Min makānika” identifies the location, while “ḥattā arjiʿa ilayka” states the time limit of the request.
Iltimās is not just a label for politeness: the relative standing of speaker and addressee is central to its classical rhetorical description.
