أَرْبَعَةًfour in Arabic

Example sentences

• فِي أَنْ لَمْ يُعْطِ إِبْلِيسُ اِثْنَيْنِ مِنْ اِبْنِ آدَمٍ وَأَعْطَى أَرْبَعَةً

  That Iblis was not given two of the sons of Adam but was given four.

  أَرْبَعَةً — four. The number 'four', the thing given in the contrasting clause, so it is the object of the verb and takes the object (accusative) ending, shown by its double-mark ending. It stands deliberately against the earlier 'two' to point the contrast.
