Example sentences

• وَقَدْ ثُبِتَ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ

  And it has been established in the two Sahih collections from Ibn Mas'ud from the Prophet that he said:

  And I smoothed out a place with my two hands for the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, to sleep on it.

  لِلْنَّبِيِّ — for the Prophet. Preposition 'for' fused with a definite noun whose 'al-' (the) is also pulled in, so one chunk says 'for the Prophet'. The preposition forces that noun into the 'of'-style ending. It marks the Prophet as the one the place was prepared for.
