سَاجِدٌprostrating

Example sentences

• وَهُوَ رَاكِعٌ وَسَاجِدٌ

  And he was bowing and prostrating.

  وَسَاجِدٌ — and prostrating. A doer-noun ('one prostrating') fronted by 'wa-' (and), pairing a second posture alongside the first at the same level. The 'wa-' coordinates the two states, so the man is described as both bowing and prostrating together.

• فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ رَبِّيَ وَقَعْتُ لَهُ سَاجِدًا

  So when I see my Lord, I fall down prostrate before Him.

  سَاجِدًا — in prostration. A descriptive noun in the object form used to state the manner of the action, 'prostrating', telling how the speaker fell. Arabic marks such a state-of-the-doer with the object ending even though it is not the verb's object. So it adds the circumstance accompanying the falling rather than a thing acted upon.
