الْحَارِّhot in Arabic

Example sentences

• بَلَغَ مِنْ بِرِّهِ بِأَبِيهِ أَنَّ يَحْيَى كَانَ لاَ يَتَوَضَّأُ إِلَّا بِالْمَاءِ الْحَارِّ،

  His dutifulness toward his father reached such a degree that Yahya would not perform ritual ablution except with hot water.

  الْحَارِّ — hot. This is a describing adjective tied to 'the water', and it copies that noun's traits, wearing the same definiteness and genitive ending. Arabic makes an adjective agree with its noun in case, gender, definiteness and number, which is why this word echoes 'the water' so closely. The match is what tells you which noun the adjective belongs to.
