Example sentences
وَمَثَلُ الأَوَّلِ كَرَجُلٍ صَارَعَ رَجُلًا شَدِيدًا فَلَا يُقْهَرُ إِلَّا بِتَعَبٍ وَمِشْقَةٍ
And the example of the first is like a man who wrestled a very strong man; he is not overcome except by fatigue and hardship.
وَمِشْقَةٍ — and hardship. The 'wa-' joins the second item to the first, and the noun keeps the genitive handed down from 'bi-'. So 'fatigue' and 'hardship' both sit under the same 'only by...' frame.
