A statement may directly establish its chief proposition and, at the same time, entail another consequence not chiefly intended as the subject of expression. The former is considered under ʿibārat al-naṣṣ, the latter under ishārat al-naṣṣ.
For example, a legal statement may directly establish an entitlement while its wording necessarily entails a related status of the beneficiary. The second consequence should not be ignored merely because it is not the central message.
Yet not every loosely associated thought qualifies as an indication. The inference must genuinely follow from the wording, rather than from a distant analogy.
