Example sentences

• وقال ﴿وَلا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلاةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَى وَلا يُنْفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ﴾

  And He said, 'They do not approach prayer except lazily, and they do not spend except reluctantly.'

  كُسَالَىٰ — lazily. This is a plural adjective meaning 'lazy ones', the predicate of the circumstantial clause: while they are sluggish. Arabic places this describing word as the predicate of 'they', painting the state in which they pray.
