In addition, he expressed the themes of separation, connection, brevity, deputation and equality in different cases. He discussed about metaphor while interpreting verses of Holy Quran and focusing on many types of similes. Moreover, he explained about metonym and imagery with their affinities. Furthermore, the spiritual excellence of rhetorical science such as contradiction, counter-adherence, exaggeration, verbal excellences, paronomasia, rhetoric of introductory and its elements has been explained without mentioning their rhetorical benefits.
