3 – Dalaalat ul-Iltizaam (indication of an accompanying necessary meaning:
Dalaalaat Ul-alfaazh (the Indications Of The Alfaazh)
The Alfaazh (wordings) in respect to their Dalaalaat (the indications they indicate to) in terms of meanings are divided into three categories:
1 – Dalaalat ul-Mutaabaqah (indication of conformity/correspondence):
It is the Dalaalah (indication) of the Lafzh (wording) upon its complete naming (or the named matter) like the Dalaalah of the Lafzh: ‘Insaan’ applied upon the well-known speaking animal/creature (of its naming). The Lafzh (wording) came in conformity to its meaning without any addition or deduction. This is in respect to the Mufrad (singular) Lafzh. As for the sentence, meaning the Murakkab (construct), an example is the Qawl of Allah Ta’Aalaa:
Lash them with eighty lashes (An-Noor 4).
The wordings (Alfaazh) in their Mantooq (expressed explicit meaning) guide to a meaning that is not open to Ta’weel (interpretation) and does not require Ijtihaad. Consequently, if the Lafzh corresponds and conforms to the meaning completely without addition or deduction then it is the Dalaalah Al-Mutaabaqah. The Dalaalah Al-Mutaabaqah is from the category of the Dalaalah Al-Mantooq (what is indicated by the expressed wording). The meaning is therefore taken from the expressed Alfaazh (wordings) and not beyond that.
