الْمَرْءُ بِعِلْمِهِ وَآدَابِهِ لَا بِحَسَبِهِ وَنَسَبِهِ
A person is judged by knowledge and manners, not ancestry and lineage.

In parallel sajʿ (mutawāzī), the two fawasil agree both in weight and final sound. The pair therefore produces a fuller balance than mutarraf, without requiring word-by-word parallelism across the entire clauses.

“Ḥasabihi” and “nasabihi” match in both shape and cadence. Their correspondence illustrates why this subtype is distinct from a mere shared terminal consonant.
