فُلَانٌ كَثِيرُ الرَّمَادِ
That person has much ash.
Much ash suggests frequent fires, much cooking, numerous guests, and ultimately generosity. It is an allusion to a quality (kināyah ʿan ṣifah); the literal meaning remains possible in principle.
An allusion to attribution may instead locate a quality in something related to the person. Classify by what is chiefly implied: a quality, an attribution, or the person or thing described.
