Example sentences

• وَلِهَذَا تَرَى مُدْمِنَ الْخَمْرِ وَالْجِمَاعِ لَا يَلْتَذُّ بِذَلِكَ عُشْرَ الْتِذَاذِ مَنْ لَمْ يُدْمِنْ

  This is why you see that the addict to wine and intimacy does not enjoy it even a tenth as much as one who is not addicted.

  عُشْرَ — a tenth. Accusative as an adverb of measure — 'by a tenth'; first half of a possessive pair, 'a tenth of...'. This is how Arabic frames 'a tenth as much'.
