وَاحِدِone

Example sentences

• فَمَا حَظُّ الْوَاحِدِ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لِيَرْوِيَ فَقَطْ

  As for any one of them, his lot is only to listen so that he may narrate.

  الْوَاحِدِ — the one. This noun carries 'al-' (the) and completes the possessive pairing as the owner: 'the lot of the (single) one'. It sits in the 'of...' (genitive) shape that the pairing requires, and being definite it makes the whole 'X of Y' phrase definite too.
