ذَنْبِهِhis sin

Example sentences

• عَبْدٌ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

  A servant for whom what preceded of his sin was forgiven.

  ذَنْبِهِ — his sin. A noun with -hi ('his') fused on, 'his sin', in the 'of' form because the part-of preposition before it governs it. Though singular, it reads collectively for his wrongdoing. The possessor ties the sin to the servant, completing 'of his sin' as the pool the forgiveness covers.
