مَنْزِلِهِhome of him

Example sentences

• أو أرجعه إلى منزله الذي خرج منه بما نال من أجر،

  or bringing him back to his home from which he departed with what he has gained of reward,

  مَنْزِلِهِ — his home. This is 'home/lodging' with 'his' attached, 'his home', the object of 'to'. The suffix marks him as its owner; it names where he is brought back, and the possessor is fused onto the noun.

• جَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرِ ـ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ـ إِلَى أَبِي فِي مَنْزِلِهِ،

  Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, came to my father in his house.

  مَنْزِلِهِ — his house. A noun with the pronoun '-hi' (his) fused on, so one word says 'his house'; the possessor reaches back to the father just mentioned. Sitting under the 'in' preposition, it carries the 'of'-style ending that preposition requires. Tracking that attached 'his' to the right owner is part of reading the line.
