وَفِيin

Example sentences

• نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَاءُكُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ

  We are your protectors in this worldly life and in the Hereafter.

  وَفِي — and in. Two prefixes stack here: wa- ('and') coordinates with the earlier phrase, and the fi after it is the preposition 'in'. So this single word both joins the second realm to the first and re-introduces the 'in', forcing the genitive on the noun that follows.

• وفى رواية فلما قعدت بين رجليها، قالت اتق الله ولا تفض الخاتم إلا بحقه، فانصرفت عنها وهى أحب الناس إلى وتركت الذهب الذى أعطيتها،

  In another version: 'When I sat between her legs, she said: Fear Allah and do not break the seal except with its due right. So I refrained from her though she was the most beloved to me, and I left the gold that I had given her.'

  وَفِي — in. This pairs the connector wa- with the preposition 'in', 'and in'. The wa- ties this to the previous account, while 'in' forces the following noun into the 'of' (genitive) ending, opening 'and in a version...'.
