مُعَانَاةhardship in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَذَلِكَ شَيْء لَا تَعب عَلَيْك فِيهِ وَلَا نصب وَلَا معاناة

  And this is something that does not burden you with effort, nor toil, nor hardship.

  مُعَانَاةٍ — hardship. A Form III action-noun naming the drawn-out enduring of suffering; the Form III pattern carries that sense of a sustained, mutual struggle. Indefinite again, it caps the list: no such ordeal is involved.

• لَيْسَ هُوَ عملا بالجوارح يشق عَلَيْك معاناته

  It is not an action of the limbs that causes you hardship in its endeavor.

  مُعَانَاتُهُ — its suffering. A Form III action-noun, 'the enduring of it', with '-hu' pointing back to the work; it is the delayed subject of 'weighs hard'. So literally 'its enduring weighs hard on you', the very thing the sentence denies.
