Example sentences
قال فإنك من أهلها فأخرج تمرات من قرنه فجعل يأكل منهن،
He said: 'Nothing, O Messenger of Allah, except that I hope to be among its people.' So he said: 'You are indeed among its people.' Then he took out dates from his quiver and began to eat them.
قَرَنِهِ — his quiver. A noun with -hu (his) attached at the end, so one word carries 'his quiver'. The owner-suffix and the noun together form a possessive whole with no separate word for 'his'; the suffix points back to the man just acting.
