قُضَاةjudges

Example sentences

• ومن اتقى الله فيها وكتب لقضاة العدل وباشر الأيتام والصدقات ومال الأوقاف والمدارس ولزم الأمانة واتقى فيه فهذا محمود مأجور بنيته،

  Whoever fears Allah in it, writes for just judges, handles the affairs of orphans and charities, manages endowment and school funds, and adheres to honesty, such a person is praised and rewarded for his intention.

  لِقُضَاةِ — for judges. This is 'for' plus a broken plural ('judges') heading a possessive — 'for the judges OF justice'. The 'li-' marks the beneficiary and governs the genitive; the plural then owns the noun to come. So one phrase says 'for just judges'.
