  For the exaggerated recitation among them involves excessive detail, leading the refined reciter to focus solely on the articulation of letters,

  تَنَطُّعٌ — excessive detail. This noun, excessive fussiness, is the delayed subject of the place-fronted clause, in the indefinite nominative with '-un'. Because 'among them' came first, this subject arrives after it as what exists in them.
