Line-by-line translation · المعاني

وَكَذَلِكَ فِي السُّنَّةِ: «ثَلَاثٌ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ» ثُمَّ يُفَصِّلُ.

The Sunnah likewise states: 'There are three whom Allah will not speak to on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them, and theirs shall be a painful punishment,' followed by the details.

فَالْإِجْمَالُ أَوَّلًا ثُمَّ التَّفْصِيلُ ثَانِيًا مِنْ طُرُقِ التَّأْلِيفِ الْمُفِيدَةِ لِلْمُخَاطَبِ؛ لِأَنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ إِذَا عَرَفَ الْإِجْمَالَ وَحَفِظَهُ صَارَ يَتَشَوَّفُ وَيَتَطَلَّعُ إِلَى التَّفْصِيلِ فَيَرِدُ التَّفْصِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسٍ قَابِلَةٍ مُتَشَوِّقَةٍ فَيَكُونُ هَذَا أَبْلَغَ فِي مُكْثِهِ.

Presenting a summary before the details is an effective pedagogical method. Once a person learns and memorizes the core points, they naturally yearn for the specifics. When the details follow, they reach a receptive and eager mind, which ensures they are better retained.

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ، كِتَابُ الْأَحْكَامِ، بَابُ مَنْ بَايَعَ رَجُلًا لَا يُبَايِعُهُ إِلَّا لِلدُّنْيَا، رَقْمُ، وَمُسْلِمٌ كِتَابُ الْإِيمَانِ، بَابُ بَيَانِ غِلَظِ تَحْرِيمِ إِسْبَالِ الْإِزَارِ، رَقْمُ.
