Example sentences
فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا فَعَلَ أَسِيرُكَ الْبَارِحَةَ
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah send blessings and grant him peace, said to me, "What did your captive do last night?"
الْبَارِحَةَ — last night. A time-word answering 'when' for the verb, pinning the action to the previous night. Arabic marks such an adverb of time by its accusative ending rather than needing a preposition like English 'last', so the bare noun alone carries the 'last night' sense.
