أَثْقَلُharder

Example sentences

• لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا عَاقِلًا ذَا بَصِيرَةٍ فَهُوَ أَثْقَلُ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ

  For if he is a believing, rational person with insight, he is harder for the devil than the mountains.

  أَثْقَلُ — harder. This is a comparative form, 'harder/heavier', on the af'al pattern, and it stands as the predicate of the result clause: he IS harder (for the devil). The thing it is measured against comes via the comparative min ('than') later. It carries the result's main claim.
