Example sentences

• أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ جَعَلَ الصَّبْرَ جَوَّادًا لا يَكْبُو

  Now then, God, Glorified be He, has made patience a steed that does not stumble.

  جَوَّادًا — a steed. An indefinite noun 'a steed', the second object of 'made': what patience is rendered into. Being the resulting-state object it takes the object ending, and its indefiniteness fits the fresh metaphor. A describing clause follows to extend the image.
