Arabic vocabulary
أَصْحَابِ is how you say “companions of” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
كَانَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
There were two men among the companions of the Messenger of God.
أَصْحَابِ — companions of. A plural noun standing after the 'among' preposition, hence in the genitive that preposition forces, and at the same time the first half of an 'of' pairing with the name-chain that follows: 'the companions of...'. So it is doubly anchored, governed by the preposition and itself owning the next noun.
