Example sentences

• إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ عَبْدًا بِمَالِهِ وَفِقِهِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ لِوَصِيَّةٍ جَائِرَةٍ

  Indeed, when God intends to punish a servant because of his wealth and his understanding, He causes him, at his death, to make an unjust will.

  لِوَصِيَّةٍ — for a will. The attached 'for/to' prefix on an indefinite noun, here marking purpose or result, 'leading to a will'. The prefix forces the genitive shape and frames the will as the outcome of the action.
