Arabic vocabulary
شَابٍّ is how you say “a young man” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَهَلْ شَيْءٌ أَقْبَحُ مِنْ شَابٍّ يَخْدِمُ السُّنَّةَ وَلَا يَعْمَلُ بِهَا ؟
Is there anything more disgraceful than a young man who serves the Sunnah and does not act on it?
شَابٍّ — a young man. An indefinite noun, no al-, so 'a young man', placed in the 'of'-style (genitive) ending because the comparative's preposition governs it. It is the benchmark of disgrace, and the relative clauses after it describe his contradictory behaviour.
