«والمقتضى ويسمى الاعتبار المناسب: هو الصورة المخصوصة التي تورد عليها العبارة»
The requirement of the situation, also called the appropriate consideration, is the particular form in which the utterance should be presented.
The ḥāl is the prompting circumstance, such as a well-informed listener. The muqtaḍā is the suitable expressive form, such as concision. Conformity is the actual adoption of that form.
Recognizing the circumstances without adapting the language does not satisfy the definition of balāghah.
