Example sentences

• لِأَنَّهُمْ عَايَشُوا الْوَحْيَ وَعَاصَرُوا التَّنْزِيلَ وَوَقَعَتِ الْحَوَادِثُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ،

  Because they lived through the revelation, witnessed its descent, and the events took place before them,

  الْحَوَادِثُ — the events. The subject of 'took place', appearing after its verb. With 'al-' it is definite, and it carries the -u subject ending; it is a plural noun, but the preceding verb stayed singular because it came first, as Arabic word order allows.
