Example sentences

حين تقول بِسمِ الله، فالمعنى أبدأ عملي مُستعينًا بالله، وأجعل نتيجته لوجهه
When you say, 'In the name of Allah,' the meaning is: I begin my work seeking assistance from Allah, and I dedicate its outcome for His sake.
لِوَجْهِهِ — for His sake. 'for His face, sake' — 'li' of purpose plus 'face' plus 'His'. 'Face' is idiom for the person's own sake; the chain means 'purely for Him'.

من ذَلِك الْوَجْه كَمَا استفاض فِي الصِّحَاح وَغَيرهَا
In this regard, as has been widely narrated in the Sahih collections and others.
الوَجْهِ — the aspect. This noun carries 'the' and sits in the genitive because the preposition 'from' governs it. It names the aspect being considered, completing the phrase opened by the demonstrative.
