وَأَبُوand Abu

Example sentences

• فانطلقت أنا وأبو بكر حتى دخلنا على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

  So I and Abu Bakr went until we entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

  وَأَبُو — and Abu. This is 'and' plus 'Abu', coordinating a second person into the subject — 'and Abu [Bakr]'. The long 'u' on 'Abu' shows it shares the subject's nominative. It heads the name with the genitive to come.

• وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بِالْسُّنْحِ

  And Abu Bakr was at al-Sunh.

  وَأَبُو — and Abu. The wa- ('and') is fused to the front, joining this new sentence to the report; here it shifts the scene rather than the action. The word that follows, 'Abu', is the first half of a 'father-of' name.
