Definition Al-iastiʿaaraa al-muṭlqaa

Al-iastiʿaaraa al-muṭlqaa according to Dustur al-'Ulama (Al-Ahmadnagari)

And the bare metaphorical borrowing and the reinforced metaphorical borrowing are three categories of metaphorical borrowing based on association or non-association with a matching element, because it either is not associated with anything that suits the borrowed to and the borrowed from, or it is associated with what suits the borrowed to, or it is associated with what suits the borrowed from. The first corresponds to the first, the second to the second, and the third to the third. Sometimes stripping and reinforcement come together, and the examples are found in detailed works.

Al-iastiʿaaraa al-muṭlqaa according to Maqalid al-'Ulum (As-Suyuti)

That which is not associated with an attribute, nor with a branching.
