رَدّ return in Arabic

كلمةُ ذكرٍ خفيّة، وردُّ أمانةٍ، وكفُّ أذًى عن طريق الناس كلّها تزداد ثِقَلًا بقدر الصدق فيها

A hidden word of remembrance, returning a trust, and withholding harm from people's paths—all increase in weight according to the sincerity within them.

وَرَدُّ returning

'and the returning of' — 'wa' plus 'radd', nominative, second item in the list, head of an 'of' pairing with 'a trust'.

From When Hidden Deeds Are Shown

السابع أن رد الماء إلى الاحليل أو الصلب بعد خروجه منه غير معروف ولا هو أمر معتاد جرت به القدرة وإن كان مقدورًا للرب تعالى

The seventh is that returning water to the urethra or backbone after it has departed is neither known nor a usual occurrence allowed by power, even if it is something the Lord Almighty can do.

رَدَّ returning

This noun 'returning' is a verbal noun, the subject of the anna-clause, carrying the object-style ending anna imposes on its subject, and the front of an 'of' pair, 'returning of the water'. It owns the genitive that follows.

From Ten Proofs of Resurrection

الثامن أنه سبحانه دعا الانسان إلى النظر فيما خلق منه ليرده عن تكذيبه بما أخبر به

The eighth point is that He, glorified be He, invited humans to reflect on what He created them from to dissuade them from denying what He informed them of.

لِيَرُدَّهُ to dissuade them

This stacks the purpose particle 'so that' onto a verb carrying its own subject plus an attached object pronoun. The purpose particle pushes the verb into its subjunctive form, marking the act as an aim being worked toward, and the doubled-middle pattern means to turn or drive someone back.

From Ten Proofs of Resurrection

وهو لم يخبره بقدرة خالقه على رد الماء في إحليله بعد مفارقته له

And He did not inform him of his Creator's ability to return the water to his urethra after it has departed from it.

رَدِّ return

This verbal noun names the act of returning something and opens a possessive pairing with 'the water'. Built from a verb, it lets Arabic speak of 'the returning of'; it sits in the prepositional form because the preposition before it governs it.

From Ten Proofs of Resurrection

حتى يدعوه إلى النظر فيما خلق منه ليستقبح منه صحة إمكان رد الماء

So that He might invite him to reflect on what he was created from, deeming the possibility of water's return improbable.

رَدِّ of return

This verbal noun names the act of returning and opens the next link of the possessive chain with 'water'. It takes the genitive ending of a possessed noun and continues the stacked 'of' relationship running through the phrase.

From Ten Proofs of Resurrection

التاسع أنه لا ارتباط بين النظر في مبدأ خلقه ورد الماء في الاحليل بعد خروجه

The ninth point is that there is no connection between reflecting on the origin of his creation and the return of the water to the urethra after it has exited.

وَرَدِّ and the return

The wa- links a second item to 'reflection', and the word is a verbal noun naming the act of returning, with 'the' implied through the chain. It forms the other side of the denied connection, paired against the reflection.

From Ten Proofs of Resurrection

فإذا عطلها مدعيًا للتوكل كان جهلًا بالتوكل وردًّا لحكمة الواضع لأن التوكل إنما هو اعتماد القلب على الله سبحانه وليس من ضرورته قطع الأسباب،

So if someone neglects them claiming reliance on God, it is ignorance of true trust and a rejection of the Creator's wisdom, because reliance is the heart's dependence on Allah, Exalted is He, and does not require abandoning means.

وَرَدًّا and a rejection

The opening particle adds a second predicate parallel to the first, and the noun takes the object form to match, heading its own 'of' pairing: 'and a rejection of...'. Arabic coordinates the two predicates under the one copula.
