Example sentences

• بَلْ أَمْرُهُمْ كَانَ بِالضِّدِّ مِنْ أَمْرِ الرَّسُولِ، كَفِرْعَوْنَ وَنَمْرُودَ وَأَضْرَابِهِمَا

  Rather, their matter was the opposite of that of the Messenger’s, like Pharaoh, Nimrod, and their like.

  وَأَضْرَابِهِمَا — and their like. The wa- adds a closing item, a noun meaning 'their likes' with a dual attached pronoun, 'and the like of them two'. The dual pronoun points specifically to Pharaoh and Nimrod as a set of two; it rounds off the comparison.
