ذِرَاعforeleg

Example sentences

• كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في دعوة، فرفع إليه الذراع، وكانت تعجبه،

  We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, at a meal where a foreleg was presented to him, which he liked.

  الذِّرَاعُ — the foreleg. A noun made definite by al- 'the', standing as the subject of the passive verb before it: it is the thing that 'was presented'. With a passive verb the thing receiving the action becomes the grammatical subject, so its nominative ending marks it here.
