سَمَّاعlisteners

Example sentences

• وَقَوْلُهُمْ لِلْحِيطَانِ آذَانٌ، مَذْكُورٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَفِيكُمْ سَمَّاعُونَ لَهُمْ

  And their saying: 'Walls have ears' is mentioned in His saying: 'And among you are listeners to them.'

  سَمَّاعُونَ — are listeners. This is 'listeners, eager hearers', a sound plural built with a plural ending, and the delayed subject of 'among you are listeners'. It takes the nominative as that subject. The plural ending is what marks it as many rather than one.
