أَيَّامِdays

Example sentences

• إِلَّا فِي أَيَّامِ الْجِهَادِ وَقَبْلَهَا بِمُدَّةٍ

  Except during the days of jihad and for some time before them.

  أَيَّامِ — days. This is a plural noun sitting right after the preposition 'fi', which is why it carries the 'of...' (genitive) ending. It is also the first half of a two-noun possessive pairing with the word that follows, so it deliberately drops its own 'the' and waits to borrow its definiteness from its partner.
