«وذكاء المخاطب حال يدعو لإيرادها على صورة الإيجاز»
An intelligent listener may constitute a circumstance that calls for concise expression, or ījāz.

If the audience already understands the technical background, the speaker can state the decisive point without rehearsing every preliminary detail. This can focus attention on what is new and relevant.

Ījāz does not mean omitting so much that the intended meaning becomes unclear. Effective brevity preserves intelligibility while avoiding unnecessary explanation.
