ثَّنَاءُpraise

Example sentences

• وحسن الثناء عليه شيئاً لم يفتح على أحد قبلي ثم يقال يا محمد ارفع رأسك، سل تعطه، واشفع تشفع،

  The praise of him was so excellent, something not granted to anyone before me. Then it is said, O Muhammad, raise your head, ask and you will be given, and intercede and your intercession will be accepted.

  الثَّنَاءُ — the praise. A definite noun, the subject of 'became excellent', placed after its verb in Arabic's usual order; the leading 'the' has its sound blended into the noun (a 'sun letter'), so it is heard as a doubled start.
