Example sentences
وقال علي بن أبي طالب روحوا القلوب واطلبوا لها طرف الحكمة فإنها تمل كما تمل الأبدان
Ali ibn Abi Talib said, 'Refresh the hearts and seek for them a portion of wisdom, for they get weary as bodies get weary.'
الْأَبْدَانُ — bodies. Definite by al- and carrying the -u subject ending, this names who grows weary in the comparison clause. As a plural of things it could pattern as feminine-singular, but here it stands as the stated subject of its verb.
