أَصْبَرُmost patient

Example sentences

• وَأَفْضَلُ النَّاسِ أَصْبَرُهُمْ عَلَى النَّوْعَيْنِ

  The best of people are those among them who are most patient regarding the two kinds.

  أَصْبَرُهُمْ — most patient of them. A superlative-shaped form ('most patient') with -hum ('of them') attached, so the comparison and the group are in one word: 'their-most-patient'. The shape folds 'most' into the word rather than adding a helper. It serves as what the sentence asserts the best people to be.
