Arabic vocabulary
How to say “have mercy on him” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَقَدْ يُهَانُ الشَّيْخُ فِي كِبْرِهِ حَتَّى تَرْحَمُهُ الْقُلُوبُ،
An old man may be humiliated in his old age until people's hearts have mercy on him.
تَرْحَمُهُ — have mercy on him. A present-tense verb with an 'it/him' object suffix on the end, so it bundles the action and its target: 'have mercy on him'. The suffix points back to the old man, making him the one pitied. Its subject, 'the hearts', comes right after, so the doer is named separately while the object rides inside the verb.
