Suppose one commentator explains “guidance” by faith, while another highlights righteous action. One should not immediately declare one report wrong. Determine what the context emphasizes and whether each explanation states a definition, an instance, or an implication.
A disciplined comparison proceeds as follows:
1. Establish the Arabic term’s semantic range.
2. Write each explanation separately from the wording.
3. Consider context and the strength of the reports.
4. If both are compatible examples, recognize diversity; if they make mutually exclusive claims in the same respect, weigh the evidence.
The issue then becomes the relationship between language and proof, rather than a contest between personalities.
