ذَمّblame

Example sentences

• وَكَفَى بِهَذَا الْقَدْرِ مَدْحًا لِلْعَقْلِ وَذَمًّا لِلْهَوَى

  This alone is sufficient to praise reason and criticize desire.

  وَذَمًّا — and criticize. Parallel to 'praise' — another accusative of respect, 'and as blame' — tied in by 'and'. The doubled final consonant is part of the noun's root shape, not an ending.

  From: The Discipline of Foresight →

• مهلا فَأن ذمّ الروافض قد فار

  Wait, for indeed the rage of the dissenters has boiled over.

  ذَمَّ — the criticism. Because the emphatic particle precedes it, this noun, the subject in meaning, wears the accusative '-a' rather than the usual subject ending. It heads an 'of' pairing, 'the censure of the rejecters'.

  From: The Prophet's Refuge in the Cave →

• وَبَالَغَ فِي ذَمِّها وَيَكْفِي مَا فِيهَا مِنَ الأَكْدَارِ،

  He went too far in condemning her, and the faults in her are sufficient.

  ذَمِّها — condemnation of her. An action-noun naming the act of condemning, with -ha ('her/it') attached as the thing condemned, so the noun packs both the deed and its target. It is the object of 'in' before it and so takes the genitive ending. The -ha points back to the worldly life being criticized.
