سَعِيدblessed

Example sentences

• فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ لَا نَقُولُ إِنَّهُ مَلِكٌ ظَالِمٌ، بَلْ نَبِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ مَنْ اتَّبَعَهُ فَهُوَ مِنَ السُّعَدَاءِ، وَكَذَلِكَ مَنْ اتَّبَعَ مُوسَى فَهُوَ كَمَنْ اتَّبَعَ مُحَمَّدًا

  When he heard this, he said: 'God forbid! We do not say he is a tyrant king, but a noble prophet. Whoever follows him is among the blessed, and likewise, whoever follows Moses is like one who follows Muhammad.'

  السُّعَدَاءِ — the blessed. This noun carries 'the' and is plural, naming the fortunate or blessed ones, governed by the preposition before it. It names the group the follower joins; the article marks them as a known, definite class.

• فقال رحم الله أبا سعيد،

  He said: May Allah have mercy on Abu Saeed.

  سَعِيدٍ — Saeed. This name closes the 'father of Saeed' pairing, so it takes the governed ending, and its final marking shows it as an indefinite-pattern proper name. It completes whose courtesy-name is meant.

• وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ سِنَانَ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

  From Abu Sa'id Sa'd ibn Malik ibn Sinan al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him.

  سَعِيدٍ — Sa'id. This personal name completes the 'father of...' pairing as its owner, so it carries the 'of...' (genitive) ending. It also belongs to the larger genitive run started by the preposition 'an', which keeps every link of this naming chain in the same genitive shape.

  From: The Joy of Repentance →
