وَهَذَا مِنَ الْجِنْسِ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَعْلَمْتُ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعٍ مِنْ كُتُبِنَا أَنَّ الْعَرَبَ قَدْ تَذْكُرُ عَدَدَ الشَّيْءِ لَا تُرِيدُ نَفْيًا لِمَا زَادَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ الْعَدَدِ.
This issue is of the same type which I have mentioned in several places in my books, that the Arabs sometimes mention a single number of something, but by that number they do not intend to negate more than that.
