A person's intellect is not complete until he has ten qualities.
اِمْرِئٍ — a person. The owner-word completing the possessive pairing 'intellect of a person', so it sits in the genitive as the second of two linked nouns. It stays indefinite, giving the general 'any person'. Arabic builds this 'X of Y' simply by placing the two nouns together; this is the Y that owns the X.
