Example sentences

وَكَانَا فِي السِّجْنِ مَعًا، فَمَنَعَهُمَا السِّجَّانُ مِنْ إِدْخَالِ الْحَطَبِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ،
They were together in prison, and the jailer prevented them from bringing in firewood on a cold night.
الْحَطَبِ — the firewood. This noun carries al- 'the' and is the thing acted upon by the verbal noun before it: what was being brought in. Because an action-noun governs its object much as a verb would, but pulls it into the genitive, this word wears the genitive ending. So 'the bringing-in of the firewood' is built as an action-noun plus its genitive object.
