Example sentence

وَعِلَاجُ الأَبْدَانِ أَيْسَرُ خَطَبًا حِينَ تَعْتَلُ مِنْ عِلَاجِ الْعُقُولِ

And the treatment of bodies is an easier matter when they fall ill than the treatment of minds.

خَطَبًا a matter

This noun is an accusative of specification: it pins down in WHAT respect bodies are easier, answering 'easier in terms of what?'. Arabic uses this accusative slot to narrow a vague comparison the way English would add 'as a matter' or 'in difficulty'. The indefinite ending (tanwin) marks it as a general, unbounded respect.
