Arabic vocabulary
رَهِيطٌ is how you say “small group” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
عرضت علي الأمم، فرأيت النبي ومعه الرهيط،
The nations were presented to me, and I saw a prophet with a small group with him,
ٱلرَّهِيطُ — a small group. This is the delayed subject of that 'with him [was]...' clause — 'a small band / handful', in the nominative. So the whole tail is circumstantial: 'while a tiny following was with him'. Arabic lets the subject of such a clause come last, after the fronted 'with him'.
