خُطْبَةُthe sermon in Arabic

Example sentences

• لَهُ الْسَّكَّةُ وَالْخُطْبَةُ وَمَا لَهُ حُكْمٌ نَافِذٌ وَلَا سُلْطَانٌ،

  He has the mint and the sermon, but he has no binding ruling or authority.

  وَالْخُطْبَةُ — and the sermon. The wa- coordinates this with the previous noun, so 'the mint and the sermon' form a matched pair, both possessed in the same 'he has' frame. The single prefixed 'and' links them as the two trappings of office he is allowed.
