among the words of exception because what follows it is excluded from what precedes it in terms of its initial application of the previous ruling; otherwise, it does not contain its true essence. This was explicitly stated by al-Raḍī (178). What follows (lā siyamā) may be omitted, and it may be shifted from its original meaning to the meaning of (especially), so it becomes accusative in position as an absolute object. So when you say: (Zayd is brave, especially as a rider), then "as a rider" is a circumstantial accusative related to the implied verb, meaning: I particularly emphasize his increased bravery, especially as a rider. Similarly in: (Zayd is brave, especially when he is riding), and the wāw that follows it indicates the circumstantial, and it was said: conjunctive to an implied phrase, as if it were said: especially when he is armed and riding. The absence of the wāw before it in such cases is common, but its presence is more frequent. End of quote
