Ibn al-Jawzi was elegant in his appearance, modest and clean, and enjoyed the comforts of his life,
أَنِيقًا — elegant. An adjective, 'elegant', serving as the description that the 'was' verb assigns; it wears the object-style case because that verb governs its predicate into that case. So Arabic marks 'he was elegant' partly through the ending on this word.
