Example sentences

• وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَصْبِرُ بِجَهْدٍ وَمِشْقَةٍ

  And among the people are those who endure with effort and hardship.

  وَمِشْقَةٍ — and hardship. The 'wa-' joins the second hardship to the first, and the noun keeps the genitive handed down from 'bi-' without repeating it. So 'effort' and 'hardship' both sit under the same 'with...' frame.

• وَالْثَّانِيُ كَمَنْ صَارَعَ رَجُلًا ضَعِيفًا فَإِنَّهُ يَصْرَعُهُ بِغَيْرِ مِشْقَةٍ

  And the second is like someone who wrestles a weak man; he throws him down without difficulty.

  مِشْقَةٍ — difficulty. An indefinite noun governed by the 'without' phrase before it, hence genitive: 'without difficulty'. It completes the picture of an effortless throw.
