The ruling of majaz is that effect is given to the meaning for which the word has been borrowed, whether that intended referent is particular or general.
Where contextual indications establish that asad denotes a courageous man, that use refers to the man rather than to the animal. Figurative usage is therefore not merely ornamental; once its intended meaning is established, interpretation proceeds on that basis.
