What kind of waqf (pause) is on the word "عليَّ" (upon me) in the Almighty's saying: "Return them to me and he began to stroke their shins and necks"? And what kind of waqf is on the word "أوَّاب" (obedient) in the Almighty's saying: "The birds assembled, all turning to him And We strengthened his kingdom"?
The وقف (pause) can be complete (تام), which is the most perfect, then sufficient (كافٍ), then good (حسن), then ugly (قبيح). The وقف on "ردوها علي" (return them to me) is sufficient (كافٍ) because it relates to the meaning, not the wording. As for the وقف on "والطير محشورة كل له أواب" (and the birds gathered, all returning to Him), it is complete (تام) because there is no relation in it, neither in wording nor in meaning. "For if the wording is complete and there is no relation, it is complete (تام), and if it relates to meaning, it is sufficient (كافٍ)."
