Example sentences
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسِلْمِ أَمَّا إِنَّهُ قَدْ صَدَقَكَ وَهُوَ كَذُوبٌ،
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Know that he has indeed told you the truth, yet he is a liar.
كَذُوبٌ — a liar. An intensive noun-shape meaning a habitual liar, far stronger than a one-off; the pattern itself signals 'great/persistent liar'. It serves as the statement made about the 'he' pronoun before it, completing the contrast 'he is a liar'.
