Example sentences

فَنَهَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَنَهَضْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْغُلَامَ،
The Messenger of God rose, and we rose with him until he came to the boy.
الْغُلَامَ — the boy. A definite noun with al- ('the'), here the direct object of 'he came to', the boy reached. Its object (accusative) ending marks it as what the action landed on, and the leading l of al- assimilates into the noun's first letter, giving the doubled sound. So its form flags both definiteness and its role as the goal of the verb.
