• قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا تُجِيبُوا لَهُ

  The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Will you not answer him?"

  النَّبِيُّ — the Prophet. The naming prefix 'al-' (the) makes this noun definite, and it serves as the subject of the verb 'said' that came just before it. In writing, the first letter is a sun-letter, so that 'al-' assimilates in pronunciation and you hear a doubled 'n-' (an-nabiyy) rather than a crisp 'l'. As the doer of the speaking, the word also takes the subject ending, which is why it ends in '-u'.

  From: A Companion at Battle →

• فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَارْتَطَمَتْ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ إِلَى بَطْنِهَا

  Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, prayed against him, and his mare struck him in the belly.

  النَّبِيُّ — the Prophet. The al- ('the') makes this definite and the word is the doer of the praying verb back at the start. Notice how Arabic can place the subject after its verb, so the verb came first and only here do we learn who did it.

  Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Abu Bakr took shelter in a cave.

  النَّبِيُّ — the Prophet. A title made specific by al- and the first named subject of the verb before it; the definiteness marks him as THE Prophet. He is one of two doers, the other (Abu Bakr) joined later, so the verb has a paired subject though its form stays singular by Arabic agreement.
