مَصَارِيعgates

Example sentences

• ثم قال والذي نفسي بيده إن ما بين المصراعين من مصاريع الجنة كما بين مكة وهجر، أو كما بين مكة وبصرى

  Then he said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, indeed, the distance between the two panels of the gates of Paradise is as between Mecca and Hajar, or as between Mecca and Busra."

  مَصَارِيعِ — the gates. The first noun of an 'of' pair, joining straight to 'Paradise' with no separate 'of' and forgoing its own 'the', taking definiteness from the owner that follows; it also sits in the form the preceding preposition governs.
