مُقَاوِمٍone who opposes

Example sentences

• فَبَقِيَتْ مَرَارَةُ الأَسَى بِلَا مُقَاوِمٍ،

  So the bitterness of grief remained, with no one to oppose it,

  مُقَاوِمًا — one who opposes. An active participle read agentively ('one who opposes/a resister'), in the accusative as the noun negated in the 'with no...' phrase. It names the missing thing: there is no resister, so the bitterness goes unchecked.
