وَفِي ثَبْتِ كُتُبِ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ، وَكُتُبِ الْحُمَيْدِيِّ، وَكُتُبِ شَيْخِنَا عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ،
And in the register are the books of Abu Hanifa, the books of al-Humaydi, and the books of our sheikh Abd al-Wahhab.
كُتُبِ books of
This plural noun heads a string of 'of' pairings: 'the books of so-and-so'. As the first member it leans on the owner name that follows and takes definiteness from it, dropping any 'the' of its own. It is repeated through the sentence to attribute books to several scholars.
وَفِي ثَبْتِ كُتُبِ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ، وَكُتُبِ الْحُمَيْدِيِّ، وَكُتُبِ شَيْخِنَا عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ،
And in the register are the books of Abu Hanifa, the books of al-Humaydi, and the books of our sheikh Abd al-Wahhab.
وَكُتُبِ and books of
Here wa- coordinates a new item onto the list, attached to the same 'books of' head noun. The conjunction is doing list-building, adding another owner to the running catalogue. The noun stays in the genitive as part of the ongoing 'in the register' phrase.
وَفِي ثَبْتِ كُتُبِ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ، وَكُتُبِ الْحُمَيْدِيِّ، وَكُتُبِ شَيْخِنَا عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ،
And in the register are the books of Abu Hanifa, the books of al-Humaydi, and the books of our sheikh Abd al-Wahhab.
وَكُتُبِ and books of
The same wa-plus-'books-of' repeated to add yet another owner. The conjunction simply continues the parallel list; this recurring connector keeps the same list-joining function as before. The noun remains genitive within the larger 'in the register' frame.
قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاَللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ
He said: 'It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in predestination, its good and its bad.'
وَكُتُبِهِ His books
Another 'and'-joined item in the faith list, again with an attached '-His' marking God as the owner of the books. The 'and' simply adds it alongside the angels under the one verb 'believe in'. The possessive suffix keeps tracking back to God.
وكذلك إذا جحد التوراة والانجيل أو كتب الله المنزلة أو كفر بها أو سبها أو استخف بها فهو كافر
Likewise, if one denies the Torah, the Gospel, or the revealed books of Allah, or disbelieves in them, or insults them, or disparages them, he is a disbeliever.
كُتُبَ books of
A noun 'books' heading a possessive pairing, 'books of God', set before its owner with no word for 'of'. As the pairing's head it drops its own 'the' and leans on the owner that follows. As an alternative object of 'denied', it sits in the accusative.
