أَسِيرٌprisoner

Example sentences

• قال جئت لهذا الأسير الذي في أيديكم

  He said: I came for this prisoner who is in your hands.

  الْأَسِيرِ — prisoner. al- = 'the'; asir means 'captive, prisoner' — it follows 'li-', so it takes the 'of' (genitive) ending.

  Then the Prophet ﷺ said: Educate your brother in his religion, teach him the Quran, and release his captive, and they did so.
