Example sentences

• فمن كانت سريرته صالحة كان عمله صالحًا

  So whoever has a righteous inner state, his deed will be righteous.

  صَالِحَةً — righteous. An adjective in the object-style ending because it is the predicate of the 'to be' verb: that verb puts its predicate into the accusative-style ending, unlike a plain noun sentence. So the ending here is the grammatical mark that 'righteous' is what the inner state is said to be.

  صَالِحَةً — righteous.
