الْوَحْيَthe revelation

Example sentences

• لِأَنَّهُمْ عَايَشُوا الْوَحْيَ وَعَاصَرُوا التَّنْزِيلَ وَوَقَعَتِ الْحَوَادِثُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ،

  Because they lived through the revelation, witnessed its descent, and the events took place before them,

  الْوَحْيَ — the revelation. The definite direct object of 'lived through', so it stands in the accusative. With 'al-' it is the specific revelation in question; it receives the action of the verb directly with no relator between them.
