Example sentences
فَهُوَ غَرِيزَةً لَا يَنْفَعُهَا التَّأْدِيبُ،
So it is an instinct that discipline does not benefit it.
التَّأْدِيبُ — discipline. This noun is the delayed subject of the preceding verb: it is discipline that does the (non-)benefiting. Its al- makes it definite and its nominative ending marks it as the doer. Sitting after its verb is standard Arabic word order, not an afterthought.
