Ibn Shahin al-Zahiri, al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat

As for jumping: whoever sees that he is jumping from one place to another, then he will change from one state to another; so distinguish between the two places, and whichever of them is fitting, its interpretation is based upon it.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 72

As for jumping, it is interpreted in several ways. Al-Kirmani said: whoever sees that he jumped from one place to another, then he will move from one place to another, or he will change from one state to another; so let him consider what lies between the two places he jumped from one to the other.

al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat, p. 190
