شَرِّevil

Example sentences

• كَانَ قَوْلُهُ هَذَا مِنْ شَرِّ أَقْوَالِ الْكَافِرِينَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ

  This statement of his was among the worst sayings of the disbelievers concerning Allah and His Messenger.

  شَرِّ — evil. A 'worst/most evil' form opening a possessive pair, the head of 'worst of the sayings'. It expresses the top degree and leads into the group it ranks within, taking the next noun as that group.

• وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدْرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ

  And believe in the divine decree, its good and its evil.

  وَشَرِّهِ — and its evil. The connecting 'and' fused to a noun 'its evil' with 'its' attached, pairing with 'its good'. The 'and' coordinates the two halves, the suffix again pointing back to the decree, both in the genitive.

  From: Faith and Worship →

• وَنَجَا مِنْ شَرِّهَا،

  And he escaped its harm.

  شَرِّهَا — harm of it. A noun ('harm') with the suffix '-ha' ('its/their') fused on as possessor, in the genitive after 'from'. The attached pronoun reaches back to the 'matters' of the previous sentences, so it is specifically their harm that is escaped.
