نَصِيحَةِadvice

Example sentences

• وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ لَهُ رِسَالَةُ لَفْتَةِ الْكَبِدِ إِلَى نَصِيحَةِ الْوَلَدِ

  A letter was written to him, a heartfelt plea urging him to advise the son.

  نَصِيحَةِ — advice. This noun is the head of a short ownership pair with the word after it, naming the aim that the preceding 'to' was pointing at. As the leading member of that pair it carries no 'the' of its own and takes its definiteness from the following owner. It names the goal of the whole letter.

• إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعْ بِنَصِيحَةِ وَالِدِهِ،

  However, he did not benefit from his father's advice.

  بِنَصِيحَةِ — by advice. This is a preposition fused to the front of a noun that heads an ownership pair with the next word. The preposition governs the noun into the 'of' (genitive) form, and the noun in turn owns the following word. So one written unit both attaches a preposition and opens a possessive chain.
