عبارة النص: ما سيق الكلام لأجله، وأريد به قصداً.
Ibarat al-nass is what the discourse is brought forward to express and what is intentionally meant by it.
Two elements are essential: the discourse is directed to this point, and that point is intended as such.
When wording conveys multiple implications, identify first which ruling it was expressly used to communicate. This anchors the classification of ibarat rather than merely counting how many meanings the words could suggest.
