Fourth, explaining the text: in this chapter, there is the division of expounding, which comprises four sections: first, the request; second, the exposition; third, the verification; fourth, the verses. In the exposition, there are two parts: first, the prose that explains at length; and subsequent, the verses that summarize [it]. In the former, there are also two parts: first, this world; and subsequent, concluding by extending [it universally]. In the former, there are also two parts: first, the exposition proper; and subsequent, the verification and completion. In the former, there are also two parts: first, the question; and subsequent, the answer.
