امْتِنَاعrefraining in Arabic

Example sentences

• وامتناعك ترك وراحة

  And your refraining is simply letting go, which is relief.

  وَامْتِنَاعُكَ — And your refraining. An action-noun built from the 'hold yourself back' verb, with 'your' fused on, so one word says 'your refraining'. It is the topic of a verbless sentence: your abstaining [is] mere letting-go and relief.

• وَمَا يسْتَقْبل تصلحه بالامتناع والعزم وَالنِّيَّة

  And what is to come, you correct through refraining, resolve, and intention.

  بِالِامْتِنَاعِ — through refraining. 'Bi-' of means again, governing an action-noun built from 'hold oneself back', so 'by refraining'. The reflexive shape packs the self-restraint into the noun itself.
