Example sentences
وَخَافَ فَوْتَ الصَّلَاةِ أَوِ الْوَقْتِ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ عَدُوُّهُ مِنْهُ مَا شَاءَ
He feared missing the prayer or its appointed time, and his enemy did not attain from him what he wanted.
الصَّلَاةِ — the prayer. This definite noun completes the 'of' pairing with 'missing' before it: 'the missing of the prayer'. As the owned half it takes the genitive ending, its al- (assimilating into the sun letter) marking the specific prayer. The bare juxtaposition carries the 'of'.
