Example sentence

فالأصولي الواقف مع الظواهر والآثار عند خصومه يجعلونه مجسما وحشويا ومبتدعا،

So the theologian who adheres to the apparent texts and traditions, his opponents label him an anthropomorphist, a literalist, and an innovator.

الوَاقِفُ who adheres

This active participle ('the one halting / standing firm') trails and defines the theologian — the kind who 'stops at' the plain texts. It is definite, agreeing with its noun, and pairs with the word coming next to say what he stands by.
