رَشِيدَal-Rashid

Example sentences

• وَعَنْ الأَصْمَعِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرَّشِيدَ يَقُولُ النَّوَادِرُ تَشْحَذُ الأَذْهَانَ وَتَفْتُقُ الآذَانَ

  And from al-Asma'i: I heard al-Rashid say, "Anecdotes sharpen minds and quicken ears."

  الرَّشِيدَ — al-Rashid. The al- makes this proper name definite as a fixed title. It is the receiver-of-the-action of 'I heard', so it wears the accusative object ending, marking it as the one whose speech was heard.
