النَّبِيِّينَthe prophets

Example sentences

• وَأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا،

  And that they are those on whom Allah has bestowed favor: the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. Those are excellent companions.

  النَّبِيِّينَ — the prophets. First item in the list opened by the preceding 'min'. It is a sound masculine plural, the regular -in plural ending for groups of people, and it carries the genitive ending because the partitive particle governs it. The same ending will reappear on each later category, which is the grammatical thread linking them as one set.
