How to say “keepers” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ويخليه قوي النفس مزدريا بحفاظ كتاب الله تعالى،
And it makes him self-assured, looking down on the keepers of the Book of Allah, the Exalted,
بِحَفَظَةِ — by the keepers of. The preposition 'bi-' here is governed by the scorning participle, which takes its object through 'bi-', forcing the genitive, the noun being the head of a chain. So 'bi-' marks whom he looks down on, 'the keepers of'.
