• ولكن ضلال من لم يدر ما جاءت به الرسل كما ينبغي بالحكمة شر ممن يدري،

  But the misguidance of one who does not know what the messengers brought, as he should through wisdom, is worse than that of one who knows.

  ضَلَالَ — the misguidance. This noun is doing two jobs at once. It is the thing 'lakinna' has pulled into the accusative (so it carries an '-a' ending you would not expect on a plain subject), and it is also the first half of a possessive pairing: the 'misguidance OF' someone. Arabic builds that 'of' just by setting the two nouns next to each other, with no separate word for it.
