عَنَانclouds

Example sentences

• يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُك عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك،

  O son of Adam! If your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you were to ask for My forgiveness, I would forgive you.

  عَنَانَ — clouds of. The -a marks where the sins reach — the object of 'reach.' It also opens an 'of' pair, 'the reaches of the sky,' so it leans on the next word for its full sense.
