أَشَدّmore

Example sentences

• وَلِهَذَا كَانَ الله أَشد فَرحا بتوبة العَبْد من الفاقد لراحلته عَلَيْهَا طَعَامه وَشَرَابه فِي ارْض دوية ملهكة إِذا نَام آيسا مِنْهَا ثمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَوَجَدَهَا

  And for this reason, Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His servant than one who finds his lost mount, upon it his food and drink, in a barren, dangerous land after sleeping in despair of it, then waking to find it.

  أَشَدَّ — more delighted. This is a comparative shape meaning 'more intense', the form Arabic builds on a root to express 'more' without a separate word. Its ending marks it as the description completing the being-verb, and the comparison is carried inside the word's own pattern.
