مَاعُونassistance

Example sentences

• كما قال تعالى ﴿الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاؤُونَ وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ﴾

  As He, the Almighty, said, 'Those who show off and withhold simple assistance.'

  الْمَاعُونَ — simple assistance. This noun carries 'the' and is the object of the withholding verb, in the accusative. It names small kindnesses or basic aid; Arabic marks it as the thing acted upon by the accusative ending.
