Use the same sequence for each unfamiliar passage:
1. Meaning and syntax: identify vocabulary, predication and grammatical structure.
2. Maʿānī: analyze assertion or inshaʾ, emphasis, fronting, restriction, and connection or separation.
3. Bayān: if there is figurative transfer, demonstrate comparison, metaphor, metonymy or allusion.
4. Badīʿ: name a verbal or semantic device only when there is actual evidence.
5. Conclusion: state briefly why the form is appropriate in its context.
This method turns a list of rhetorical terms into an integrated analysis supported by meaning and evidence.
