In كَالْمُعَايَنَةِ, كَـ means “like” or “as.” The narration draws attention to a meaningful difference between reported and directly witnessed events. A brief message about an incident may leave out important context, making verification necessary before judging others.
Example 1: Do not punish a student merely because someone reports misconduct; seek a fair account of what happened.
Example 2: Even when witnessing part of an event, investigate its surrounding circumstances before assigning blame.
This caution supports truthful speech, fairness, and responsible assessment of evidence.
