LessonsTafrīʿ, Praise or Blame by Apparent Exception, Ist itbāʿ and IdmājQuiz

Tafrīʿ affirms a judgment about one subject and then establishes a related judgment about another as a rhetorical consequence of the first. The second statement is not a bare repetition; it is presented as a branch of the initial judgment.

The first assertion functions as the basis, while the following assertion becomes its branch. The connection should reveal a further implication of the attribute first ascribed.

Two unrelated judgments, however elegantly joined, do not by themselves constitute tafrīʿ.
