Ighraq describes an intensity not ruled out by reason but highly unusual in customary experience. For example, a claim of generosity that follows someone wherever they travel is imaginable but far beyond normal practice.
«نُكْرِمُ جَارَنَا مَا دَامَ فِينَا»
We honor our neighbor while he lives among us;
«وَنَتْبَعُهُ الْكَرَامَةَ حَيْثُ مَالَا»
and send honor after him wherever he turns.
The second line extends generosity beyond its ordinary limits and thus illustrates ighraq.
