حَدًّاlimit

Example sentences

• فَقَالَ سَأَلْتَنِي عَمًّا لَيْسَ لَهُ حَدًّا

  He said: You asked me about something that has no limit.

  حَدًّا — limit. This noun is the predicate governed by the earlier negating 'is-not', which is why it carries an accusative ending; the indefinite tanwin marks it as 'a limit', any limit at all. So the structure says literally 'there is not, belonging to it, any limit'. Its accusative is the direct grammatical effect of that negating verb.
