Simile is one of the pillars of the Arabic statement, and one of the most prominent means by which the Arabs expressed their precise sense of the world around them, as it is a linguistic tool used to approximate meanings and materialize images, and its methods varied, and its types varied, and among these types stands out the messenger: "It is what is mentioned in the tool." It is a linguistic tool that is used to approximate meanings and personify images, and there are many types of it, and one of the most prominent types is the meaning , which is the failure to mention something explicitly, even if the meaning is understood, and it is either obvious, the understanding of which is not hidden even to the general public, to know what is meant by the intuition of hearing, such as the analogy of the beautiful with the moon and the ugly with the monkey, the similarity is obvious that does not need contemplation, because beauty and ugliness are the most obvious descriptions of the moon and the monkey. Or it is hidden, which is only recognized by special people, because of the great need for a good look, a lot of contemplation, deep thinking, and diving to extract the face of the analogy.
