Example sentences

• أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إياكم والظن، فإن الظن أكذب الحديث،

  The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 'Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of speech.'

  الحديثِ — of speech. This noun carries 'the' and stands as the owner-half of the 'most false of speech' pairing, taking the possessor ending that the second noun in such a chain requires. That ending is what conveys 'of', since the two nouns simply sit side by side with nothing between them.

  حَدِيثِ — the hadith. This noun is the front of a possessive pairing, 'the hadith of Ali', and it sits in the genitive because the preposition before it governs it. As the head of the pair it stays bare of 'the' and reaches to the owner next.
