قَارِئٍa reader in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَنَا بِقَارِئٍ

  Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I am not a reader."

  بِقَارِئٍ — a reader. An extra 'with/by' preposition is glued to the predicate noun, a classical flourish that strengthens the denial in the 'I am not...' frame. It does not change the meaning to 'with', it simply reinforces 'not a reader at all'.

  بِقَارِئٍ — as a reciter. An extra 'with/by' preposition is glued onto the predicate noun, a classical reinforcement of the denial in 'I am not...'. It strengthens the 'not at all' sense rather than adding a literal 'with'.
