B. Data Analysis
From the translation point of view, it seems that metaphor in this research can be classified into two types. Both are lexicalized metaphor and non-
lexicalized metaphor. To analyze metaphors of the Holy Qur‟an the writer uses some dictionaries
and references below: 1.

third translations by Pickthall and Hilali are rendering source metaphor into “report” and “mention”. However, these translations are also clear

the same technique with the others, where he translates source metaphor into ground or sense. In this verse, his translation is seemed to create a
deep explanation, but t he idea of asking the “good mention” is absent in
this translation. The idea of asking good mention is substituted with the idea of asking power to convey the truth.
