Arabic vocabulary
هَدِيَّةً is how you say “a gift” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَيَقُولُ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُهْدِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَدِيَّةً،
So he says, "Whoever wishes to send a gift to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,"
هَدِيَّةً — a gift. An indefinite noun naming the gift, left without 'the' because it is any gift, not a particular one; its accusative ending marks it as the object of the sending. It is the thing 'whoever' would send.
