غَزَاةٍan expedition

Example sentences

• كُنتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ،

  I was with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, on an expedition,

  غَزَاةٍ — an expedition. This noun has no al- and ends in the indefinite -in, so it is 'an expedition', one among many, not a specific known one. Sitting after the preposition 'in', it takes the genitive ending, and it pins down the occasion of the story.
