• وَلَقَدْ نَظَرْتُ فِي ثَبْتِ الْكُتُبِ الْمَوْقُوفَةِ فِي الْمَدْرَسَةِ النِّظَامِيَّةِ؛

  Indeed, I examined the register of books endowed to the Nizamiyya school.

  الْمَوْقُوفَةِ — endowed. An adjective describing the books. It agrees with that noun in being feminine-singular-shaped (Arabic treats a non-human plural as a single feminine for agreement), definite, and genitive, so its endings echo the noun it modifies. The agreement is what tells the reader it attaches to the books, not to the register.
