Sighah Mubalaghah IV


This Sighah Mubalaghah refers to a quality that does not manifest all the times, but when it does, it will be something extreme. It is something that is temporary (it disappears as quickly as it appears) but is always extreme whenever it appears:

   (i)   Extreme anger that manifests as one-shot at the heap of the moment, but quickly disappears after it was manifested = [  غَضْبَان  ]
   (ii)   Extreme thirst that quickly disappears after one had been given with drink = [  عَطْشَان  ]
   (iii)   Extreme hunger that quickly disappears after one had been given food = [  جَوْعَان  ]

For Allah, this refers to something that He manifests in this world. This world is temporary, so the manifestation of this quality refers to this world.
