How to say “ascetics” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ويستدعي معرفة حسنة بالتفسير وإكثارا من حكايات الفقراء والزهاد
It requires good understanding of interpretation and an abundance of stories about the poor and ascetics.
وَالزُّهَّادِ — and ascetics. Joined by 'wa-', this broken plural ('the ascetics') shares the genitive role of the noun before it, extending the ownership to a second group. Coordinated nouns in a possessive match in case, so it wears the same ending as 'the poor' it stands beside.
