Example sentence

وأما العيشة الراضية فالوصف بها أحسن من الوصف بالمرضية

As for the 'contented life,' describing it this way is better than describing it as 'a life one is pleased with.'

بِالْمُرْضِيَةِ as satisfactory

A preposition bi- fused onto a passive participle made definite by al-, 'with the pleased-with one'. The bi- marks the means and forces the genitive; the maf'ul-pattern participle names the life as 'that which is pleased-with', the weaker wording being contrasted.

مُرْضِيَةً satisfactory
