LessonsPurposes of Tashbih: Possibility, State, Degree, Reinforcement, Beautification, Disparagement and InversionQuiz

Taqrīr ḥāl al-mushabbah strengthens a condition or claim already expressed, especially by giving an abstract or moral judgment a vivid, familiar image.

This differs from an initial description. Bayān al-ḥāl chiefly reveals what a condition is; taqrīr reinforces the judgment about that condition.
