Example sentences
أَبْكَى الصَّخْرُ الأَصَمُّ بِمَا يَقُصُّ مِنْ وَصْفِ الآخِرَةِ وَأَهْوَالِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
He made even the unresponsive rock weep by what he recounted of the description of the Hereafter and the terrors of the Day of Resurrection.
الصَّخْرُ — the rock. A definite noun, 'the rock', the object made to weep; the 'the' is fused on at the front and its first sound blends into the noun (a sun-letter assimilation). Despite the surface spelling, it is grammatically the thing acted upon.
