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

To classify an example, first identify the intended aims and then examine the relation of the meanings rather than relying solely on particles.

1. One judgment generates a rhetorical branch: tafrīʿ.
2. Exception-like language intensifies commendation: emphatic praise.
3. An apparent concession intensifies criticism: emphatic blame.
4. A praise meaning entails another praise: istitbāʿ.
5. One purpose is embedded within speech serving another: idmāj.

Several figures can coexist in a passage, but every proposed classification should have a distinct textual basis.
