jarir said those are quraysh and the ansar are my ansar. rubah said and whoever is on the pulpit is mine and the pulpit is mine. perhaps the metaphor is more eloquent in glorification and more likely to lead to advancement than disclosure and explanation. and perhaps he did from silence what speech is incapable of and he has reached the utmost of his need and the ultimate of his wish with a gesture and a sign so that the effort of speech is a superfluity and the speech is a mistake.
قال جرير تلكم قريش والأنصار أنصاري وقال رؤبة ومن على المنبر لي والمنبر وربما كانت الكناية أبلغ في التعظيم، وأدعى إلى التقديم، من الإفصاح والشرح. وربما أتى من السكوت بما يعجز القول عنه وقد بلغ أقصى حاجته وغاية أمنيته بالإيماء ة الإشارة، حتى يكون تكلف القول فضلا، والكلام خطلا.
