Example sentences
فَإِنَّهُمْ هُمْ الْأَقَلُّونَ قَدْرًا،
For indeed they are the least in worth.
الْأَقَلُّونَ — the lesser ones. An elative (the 'most/least' pattern) used here as a plural noun, 'the fewest/lowest'. As an -un plural it carries the predicate (nominative) ending, completing 'they are the least'. A clarifying word will follow to say in what respect they are least, since the elative alone leaves the measure open.
