يُوضَعُ بَيْنَهُمَا الْكَلَامُ الْمُعْتَرِضُ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْنِ مُتَرَابِطَيْنِ مِنَ الْجُمْلَةِ، مِثْلُ: كَانَ أَبُوكَ - رَحِمَهُ اللّٰهُ - رَجُلًا فَاضِلًا.

Parenthetical remarks are placed between two interconnected parts of a sentence, such as: Your father—may God have mercy on him—was a virtuous man.

فَقَدْ جَاءَتْ جُمْلَةُ ( رَحِمَهُ اللّٰهُ) مُعْتَرِضَةً بَيْنَ اسْمِ كَانَ وَخَبَرِهَا؛ وَلِذَلِكَ حُصِرَتْ بَيْنَ شُرْطَتَيْنِ.

The phrase (may God have mercy on him) acts as an interjection between the subject and predicate of 'kana'; therefore, it is enclosed in dashes.

تُحْصَرُ بَيْنَهُمَا كَلِمَةٌ أَوْ جُمْلَةٌ تُوَضِّحُ غَامِضًا قَبْلَهَا، مِثْلُ: الصَّبْرُ (بِفَتْحِ الصَّادِ وَكَسْرِ الْبَاءِ) عُصَارَةُ نَبَاتٍ شَدِيدِ الْمَرَارَةِ.

Parentheses enclose a word or phrase that clarifies a preceding ambiguity, such as: Sabr (with a fatha on the sad and a kasra on the ba) is an extract from a plant of intense bitterness.
