مصطلح الكناية في المعجم النبوي الشريف و أثره في تهذيب الألفاظ

Abstract EN

Studying prophetic rhetoric is important, and studying a esthetic elements of style in the prophetic metonymy (being one of the rhetorical devices) is a target per se, because it is a way to state noble and good aims, mainly when metonymy is utilized to achieve ethical and moral goals through avoiding profanity or obscene words that aren't supposed to be said explicitly.

For instance, we can cover offensive meanings by using words that do not basically correspond to those meanings so as to refrain from saying them literally (as they are).

Metonymy is a high rhetorical device in the holy prophetic sayings, because it gives truth coupled with arguments, and shows the rational in the garment of the tangible.

It is the expression of social life by using sublime sayings that represent the culture of the society and its taste.
