Example sentences

• أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ،

  Indeed, in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it is sound, the whole body is sound,

  مُضْغَةً — a morsel of flesh. A small lump of flesh, the delayed subject, in the accusative because 'inna' governs it even at a distance. Indefinite, it is the mysterious piece the hadith will identify as the heart.

• وينسى أنه خلق من نطفة ثم من علقة، ثم صار مضغة، ثم صار عظامًا، ثم كسي لحما

  and forgets that he was created from a drop, then a clot, then a lump of flesh, then bones, then clothed with flesh.

  مُضْغَةً — a lump of flesh. The complement of 'became', naming the new state, with a bare indefinite ending: 'a lump of flesh'. The form it takes is the one such becoming-verbs require for what their subject turns into.

• أَلا وَإِن فِي الْجَسَد مُضْغَة إِذا صلحت صلح الْجَسَد كُله

  Indeed, in the body there is a piece of flesh that, if it is sound, the whole body is sound.

  مُضْغَةً — a piece of flesh. Indefinite noun, 'a piece of flesh', in the object-like form because the earlier emphasis particle reaches over to govern it. It is the thing said to exist in the body; the indefinite marking introduces it as something new.

• وَلِيَبْقَيْنَ مُضْغَةً فِي الأَلْسَنَيْنِ ،

  And let a morsel remain on the two tongues,

  مُضْغَةً — a morsel. This indefinite noun is what is wished to remain, the predicate of the 'let it remain' construction, and it takes the object-style (accusative) ending that such complements get after this verb. Its indefinite shape leaves it as a generic 'morsel', a leftover scrap that lingers in talk.
