What Is Attributed to Shahrur
This atom attributes to Shahrur the view that eloquence in the Qur’an does not mean “padding or excessive repetition,” but rather “precise communication from the speaker to the addressee.” The source for this attribution is the page for the third episode of The Great News episodes, but the available evidence is a paraphrase that needs to be verified against the original recording or transcript.
Atlas Explanation
In this sense, eloquence here is not measured simply by an abundance of words or verbal ornamentation, but by its function in conveying meaning to the person addressed. This is an explanation of the meaning of the available formulation, not an additional quotation from Shahrur.
Conclusion
This evidence alone is not sufficient to establish that Shahrur rejects all forms of linguistic beauty, nor to attribute to this particular passage a detailed theory of differences in wording or a rejection of synonymy.
Open Question and Documentation Limits
The original episode must be consulted to establish the exact wording and its context: was it a definition of eloquence in general, or a comment made in a specific context? Written connections may be traced, without assuming identical wording, through The Book and the Qur’an, The Mother of the Book and Its Elaboration, and Guide to the Contemporary Reading of the Wise Revelation.
