Arabic vocabulary
أَنْصَارِيِّ is how you say “the Ansari” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَعَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
And from Abu Hamza, Anas ibn Malik al-Ansari, the servant of the Messenger of God.
الْأَنْصَارِيِّ — the Ansari. This is a relationship-adjective formed with the '-i' ending that means 'belonging to', here tying the man to a known group. It follows and describes his name, agreeing with it in definiteness and in the genitive case the name chain carries, so it labels his affiliation.
