عَبِيدِservants

Example sentences

• فَكَذَلِكَ هِيَ هُنَاكَ ﴿وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ﴾

  So that is how it is there, and your Lord is not unjust to the servants.

  لِلْعَبِيدِ — for the servants. This is the preposition li- ('to/for') fused with the definite 'the servants', and that li- marks them as the ones toward whom the injustice would be directed. It governs the genitive ending and pins down exactly who the Lord is being said never to wrong.
