ويقبل قوله في القليل والكثير
An explanation involving relatively little or much property may be accepted, provided the described item qualifies as mal. Al-Hidayah and al-Ikhtiyar explain a traditional threshold: the phrase mal is not accepted when specified as less than one dirham.
This is a commentarial qualification to the book's concise language. 'Small' therefore does not simply mean anything, however valueless, may be named.
