رَسُولِ messenger in Arabic

فَأَقَامَ سُبْحَانَهُ الْبُرْهَانَ الْقَاطِعَ عَلَى صِدْقِ رَسُولِهِ وَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَقَوَّلْ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا قَالَهُ،

He, glorified be He, has established the definitive proof of the truthfulness of His Messenger and that he did not fabricate anything against Him in what he said.

رَسُولِهِ of His Messenger

This pairs the noun 'messenger' with an attached 'his', the owner being God, and it closes 'truthfulness of His messenger', genitive in the possessive pair. The attached pronoun fixes whose messenger and lends definiteness back to 'truthfulness'.

From Proof of the True Messenger

وَرَوَى عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الطَّائِيُّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ قَالَ

Adi ibn Hatim al-Ta'i narrated from the Messenger of Allah who said:

رَسُولِ Messenger of

A noun, 'Messenger', heading a possessive pairing with the divine name after it: 'Messenger of God'. As the leading noun it gives up its own 'the' and takes definiteness from the divine name, the two forming one title.

From Turned Away at the Gate

قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَعْلَمُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ

It was said to the Messenger of God, "Are the people of Paradise more knowledgeable than the people of the Fire?"

لِرَسُولِ to the Messenger

This word fronts the preposition 'to/for', fused onto the noun 'Messenger', so it sets up the addressee of the saying. The preposition forces its noun into the after-preposition ending and marks the Messenger as the one spoken TO. It also begins an 'of' chain completed by the divine name next.

From Trust and Piety

كَانَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

There were two men among the companions of the Messenger of God.

رَسُولِ Messenger of

This noun means 'messenger' and is the owned half of 'the companions of the messenger', so it takes the genitive that the preceding noun imposes, while itself heading a further 'of' link with the divine name to come. It is a middle link in a chain of possessions: companions of the messenger of God.

From Mothers and the Companions

فَقَامُوا يَنْقُلُونَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا سَمِعُوهُ وَوَعَوُوهُ،

They then began transmitting from the Messenger of God what they had heard and understood.

رَسُولِ Messenger of

This noun is the object of 'from', so it sits in the genitive after that relator. It is also the first half of an 'of' pairing with 'God', giving 'the Messenger of God'; it heads that chain and takes its definiteness from the name that follows.

From How the Companions Preserved Hadith

فَقُلْتُ أَلَا تُحَدِّثِينِي عَنْ مَرَضِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسِلْمِ

So I said, "Will you not tell me about the illness of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace?"

رَسُولِ Messenger

The front term of a 'messenger of' pairing, set straight before the divine name and taking its definiteness from it. The two nouns lock together into a single 'the Messenger of God' phrase with no separate 'of'.

From Prayer During Illness

وَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَرْفَعَنَّكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

And I said, by God, I will certainly bring you to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.

رَسُولِ Messenger

A noun 'Messenger' heading a possessive pairing with the divine name, 'Messenger of God', in the genitive because the 'to' before it governs it. It gives up any separate 'the', taking definiteness from the owner-name that follows.
