الْحُلْمِthe forbearance

Example sentences

• وَلَا تَغْتَرَّْ بِسَعَةِ بِسَاطٍ الْحُلْمِ؛

  Do not be deceived by the wide expanse of forbearance.

  الحلم — the forbearance. A definite noun closing the stacked 'of' chain, 'the expanse of forbearance', so it takes the 'of'-style ending as the final owner. It names what the metaphorical wide spread belongs to: God's patient withholding of punishment. The case marking ties it to the noun before it with no linking word.
