شَمْسُهُhis sun

Example sentences

• وَكَسَفَتْ شَمْسُهُ عِنْدَ اِجْتِمَاعِ ظُلُمِ آرَائِهِمْ وَعَقْدِهَا فَلَيْسُوا يُبْصِرُونَهَا

  And his sun was eclipsed when the darkness of their opinions gathered and was sealed, so they do not see it.

  شَمْسُهُ — his sun. A noun with -hu ('his') fused on as its possessor, so 'sun' and 'his' are one word. It is the subject of the preceding verb and, being feminine, is what pulled the feminine ending onto it. The 'his' reaches back to the central figure of the passage rather than to any nearer noun.
