Example sentences

وَكَانَ الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ، فَأَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ فِي خَلْقِ دَابَّتِي وَجَارِيَتِي
Al-Fudayl ibn Iyad used to say: I do disobey God, and I perceive that in the nature of my mount and my female servant.
دَابَّتِي — my mount. A noun with a 'my' suffix on the end, holding both 'mount/riding-animal' and its owner in one word. It closes the 'of' chain, 'the nature of my mount', so it takes the 'of'-style ending as the owner there. The 'my' ties the animal to the speaker whose sin shows in its temper.
