نحو: ركب علي، وهرب معاوية
For example: ʿAlī rode, while Muʿāwiyah fled.
The proper names identify individuals, whereas «رَكِبَ» and «هَرَبَ» portray different actions. The commentary's rhetorical discussion concerns how names, titles, and surrounding wording can contribute to honorific or disparaging coloring. The sentence is being treated as an illustration of verbal effect, not as independent evidence establishing a historical event.
«هَرَبَ» denotes flight, but the use of that verb in a rhetorical example does not alone authorize a moral verdict about a historical person. The task here is literary analysis rather than historical or sectarian judgment.
