مَكَانَplace

Example sentences

• فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا مَكَانَكُمْ هَذَا حَتَّى أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ،

  So do not leave this place until someone is sent to you.

  مَكَانَكُمْ — your place. A noun 'place' with a plural 'your' glued onto its end, so one word means 'your place'. The attached possessor marks the spot as belonging to the addressees, and the noun is what they are told not to leave.

• وَأَسْلَمَ مَكَانَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِرْجِعْ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ،

  He yielded his place, and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "Return to your people."

  مَكَانَهُ — his place. A noun with the attached 'his' fused on, so the possessor rides on the word. It is what he yielded — the object of the verb, its ending in the object case.
