أنت علي مثل أمي
“You are to me like my mother.”
The statement may evoke the mother's honor and respect, or it may invoke a prohibition analogous to the legal category of ẓihār. These are not the same intended meaning.
It would be unwarranted to impose the ẓihār ruling in every occurrence without examining the speaker's intent and relevant contextual indicators.
The example shows that determining which interpretation the utterance intends is essential; lexical possibilities alone do not make every legal effect simultaneous.
