التَّبْلِيغُ — الْإِغْرَاقُ — الْغُلُوُّ
Plausible intensification, extraordinary exaggeration, and impossibility.
Before intensifying or softening a hyperbole, determine whether the described extreme is possible in reason and common experience. Tablīgh remains possible in both; ighrāq is conceivable but beyond ordinary occurrence; ghulūw exceeds rational possibility.
An impossible claim may work in clearly imaginative poetry while remaining unacceptable as a factual report. If an edit shifts the category, say so explicitly rather than treating “more extreme” as automatically “more eloquent.”
