«وبلاغة المتكلم: ملكة يقتدر بها على التعبير عن المقصود بكلام بليغ في أي غرض كان»
A speaker's balāghah is a developed capacity to express an intended meaning through rhetorically appropriate, balīgh speech, whatever the purpose.
The wording differs from the definition of speaker-level fasāḥah at one crucial point: the earlier phrase was “bi-kalāmin faṣīḥ”, while the present definition says “bi-kalāmin balīgh”. The latter adds conformity to circumstances.
A rhetorically accomplished speaker therefore possesses not only linguistic soundness but a stable ability to select a fitting style for different audiences and purposes.
