لِلْداءِfor the disease

Example sentences

• وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقْهَرُ دَاءُهُ قُوَّتَهُ وَيَكُونُ السُّلطانُ لِلْداءِ

  And among them are those whose illness overwhelms their strength, and the dominion is for the disease.

  لِلْداءِ — for the disease. The preposition 'li-' (belongs to) on a definite noun, forcing the genitive. As before, 'li-' assigns possession, but here the mastery belongs to the disease, exactly inverting the earlier sentence.
