Example sentences
فَتَخَاذَلُوا وَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ الرِّيحَ
So they faltered, and God sent the wind upon them that night.
اللَّيْلَةَ — night. This feminine noun works as a 'when' adverbial, fixing the time of the sending, and it takes the object-style ending Arabic uses for such 'on that night' adverbs. The pointing-word before it makes it that particular night. It locates the event in time.
