Example sentences

فَتَحْتُ لَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ سَبْعِينَ بَابًا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ
So I have opened for you in that seventy gates to poverty.
بَابا — a door. The noun 'gate' counted by 'seventy', appearing in the singular with the object (accusative) ending and a double-mark tail, exactly the form Arabic requires for the thing counted by a number from eleven upward. So 'seventy gate' here means seventy gates, the singular shape being grammatical, not a count of one.
