فَرِيقًاa group

Example sentences

• إِلَّا فَرِيقًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

  Except for a group of believers.

  فَرِيقًا — a group. The noun naming the excepted group sits in the accusative shape because the exception particle before it forces that ending. Arabic marks 'the thing carved out of an exception' with this case rather than with a separate word like English 'for'.
