How to say “dwelling” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من أصبح معافى في بدنه، آمنا في سربه عنده قوت يومه، فكأنما حيزت له الدنيا
The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: Whoever wakes up healthy in his body, secure in his dwelling, having his day's provision, it is as if the world was gathered for him.
سِرْبِهِ — his dwelling. This is 'his dwelling', the noun joined with the attached 'his', whose pronoun refers back to the person of 'whoever'. The preposition before it puts it in the genitive, and the suffix marks the owner without a separate word.
