صَاحِبِهِhis companion

Example sentences

• وَهُوَ أَنْصَرُ لِصَاحِبِهِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ بِلَا عِدَّةٍ وَلَا عَدَدٍ

  And he is more supportive of his companion than other men, without any limit and without any number.

  لِصَاحِبِهِ — for his companion. The li- here marks the beneficiary ('supportive of/to its owner'); it is the link this helping word takes. The noun it rides is 'companion/owner' carrying -hi ('his'), so li- governs that possessed noun into the genitive. So it names who patience helps: its possessor.
