دَقَائِقِsubtleties in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَأَنَّهُ الْعَارِفَ بِدَقَائِقِ الشَّرْعِ وَحَقَائِقِ التَّنْزِيلِ،

  and that he knew the subtle details of the law and the realities of the revelation,

  بِدَقَائِقِ — in subtle details. The preposition bi- ('in/of') fused onto a noun — marking what he is knowledgeable in. The bi- governs the following noun into its genitive role, and it heads a possessive link with the next word. The participle 'knower' regularly takes its object introduced by bi-, which is why it appears here.
