Example sentences

يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إنَّك لَوْ أتَيْتنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا ثُمَّ لَقِيتنِي لَا تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لَأَتَيْتُك بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً
O son of Adam! Were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, not associating anything with Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.
خَطَايَا — sins. This broken plural answers 'an earth-ful of what?' — of sins. Arabic drops in such a noun, in the -a form, to specify the kind of thing being measured, where English would say 'in the form of sins' or simply 'of sins'.
