LessonsSupplementary Practice 18: Rhetorical Analysis of Sūrat al-Ḍuḥā and Sūrat al-SharḥQuiz

فَآوَىٰ
So He sheltered. (الضحى: 6)

فَهَدَىٰ
So He guided. (الضحى: 7)

فَأَغْنَىٰ
So He enriched. (الضحى: 8)

The three verbs leave many possible details unstated. Fa-āwā compresses shelter, fa-hadā guidance, and fa-aghnā enrichment into highly economical clauses. When participants or circumstances are clear from context, brevity can enhance flow rather than reduce intelligibility.

Not every short clause is necessarily a case of deletion. Ellipsis should be argued from a recoverable omitted element and a reliable clue. A complete expression that conveys a substantial meaning in few words may instead illustrate the economy associated with ījāz al-qaṣr.
