Example sentences

• يُقَالُ تَيِّمُ اللَّهِ أَيُّ عَبْدٌ لِلَّهِ فَالْمُتَيِّمُ الْمُعَبَّدُ لِمَحْبُوبِهِ

  It is said, 'Enamored of God,' that is, 'servant of God.' So the enamored becomes a worshipper for his beloved.

  فَالْمُتَيِّمُ — so the enamored. The fa- here draws a conclusion, signaling that what follows is the upshot of the definition just given. The al- on the noun then makes it the specific, defined figure under discussion. So the prefix ties the result to the argument while the article pins down exactly whom it is about.
