Example sentences

فاختصمت فيه ملائكة الرحمة وملائكة العذاب
Then the Angels of Mercy and the Angels of Punishment disputed over him.
فَاخْتَصَمَتْ — so they disputed. This is 'so' plus a Form VIII verb 'disputed / contended', and it is feminine-singular even though its doers (the angels) are plural — because Arabic treats a non-human plural as a feminine-singular group. So the '-at' ending is agreement, not a single female. Its subject follows.
