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

Tafrīʿ requires an established first judgment and a second judgment that becomes meaningful through its relation to the first. Sequence matters, but mere chronological succession does not.

For example, affirming a person's wisdom and then describing how their judgments resolve disputes may reveal a consequence of that wisdom. Saying simply that the person is learned and owns a large house establishes no such connection.

The rhetorical force comes from intelligible dependence, not from placing any two claims in succession.
