Example sentences

وَإِنَّمَا يَنْتَفِعُ بِالرِّياضَةِ وَالتَّأْدِيبِ مَنْ أَصْلُ جَوْهَرِهِ سَلِيمٌ،
And only benefits by exercise and discipline who his essential nature is sound,
جَوْهَرِهِ — his essence. This noun carries an attached possessor '-his' at its end and completes the 'of' pairing begun by the previous word, hence its (genitive) ending. The suffix '-his' points back to the unnamed person who is the topic, tracking ownership across the clause. So 'his essence' tells you whose essential nature is in question.
