Example sentences

• أَعْظَمُ الْمُعَاقِبَةَ أَنْ لَا يَحِسَّ الْمُعَاقِبُ بِالْعُقُوبَةِ،

  The greatest punishment is that the one being punished does not feel the punishment.

  الْمُعَاقِبُ — the one being punished. A doer-noun (active participle) carrying 'the', the subject of 'does not feel'. Though built from 'to punish', in context it is the one undergoing the penalty, the one on whom it falls. So it names the numbed sufferer who, worst of all, never notices his own punishment.
