LessonsFour Modes of Textual Indication: ʿIbārah, Ishārah, Dalālah and IqtiḍāʾQuiz

لِلْفُقَرَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِن دِيَارِهِمْ
For the poor emigrants who were expelled from their homes.

The phrase identifies the poor emigrants as recipients of the property under discussion. Establishing their entitlement is the passage’s direct purpose and therefore a case of ʿibārat al-naṣṣ.

The qualifiers “poor,” “emigrants,” and “expelled from their homes” help identify the class to which this distribution relates.

Their entitlement to a distribution is one legal question; whether they retained ownership of property left behind is another. The second question is explored through an implication of the wording.
