بَرْدَةfullness

Example sentences

• عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أصل كل داء البردة

  The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: The root of every illness is fullness.

  الْبِرْدَةُ — the fullness. This is the predicate completing 'the root of every illness is overeating'; with no word for 'is', the bare noun makes the statement. Its 'al-' makes it the specific thing identified.

• والبردة التخمة، لأنها تبرد حرارة الشهوة،

  'Al-Bardah' means overeating, because it cools the heat of appetite.

  وَالْبِرْدَةُ — and the fullness. The 'wa-' opens an explaining sentence, and the noun is the definite subject 'the fullness', made specific by 'al-' and carrying the subject ending. It heads a verbless 'X is Y' definition.
