فأما عبارة النص: فهو ما سيق الكلام لأجله وأريد به قصدا.
ʿIbārat al-naṣṣ is what the discourse was brought to convey and was directly intended to communicate.
Direct indication concerns the subject the wording was framed to address. The rule is established through the ordinary language of the statement and its evident communicative aim.
If a text distributes property to particular recipients, their entitlement is established by direct indication. Its wording might separately reveal something about their condition or ownership, yet that secondary implication is not necessarily the text's principal point.
“Intended” is assessed through the actual discourse and its wording, not by inventing an unexpressed intention for the speaker.
