Example sentences

فَمَا تَرَكْتُ لَهُمْ بِنَاءً إِلَّا هَدَمْتُهُ وَلَا إِنَاءً إِلَّا أَكْفَأْتُهُ
So I left them no building that I did not demolish, nor any vessel that I did not overturn.
بِنَاءً — a building. This indefinite noun is the object of 'left', the thing none of which survived, marked by the object ending. Its indefinite ending suits the sweeping 'no building at all' force under the negation. The 'except' clause after it carves out the exception.
