Beyond lexical truth and metaphor, majāz may also be used in a broader grammatical discussion involving deletion, addition, or a change in the grammatical analysis of an expression.

The source cites such phrases as «وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ», «وَاسْأَلِ الْقَرْيَةَ», and «لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ».

The point here is not to settle the full exegetical or theological interpretation of these passages. It is to identify a wider grammatical application of the term, distinct from the central lexical classification.
