نَوَافِلِthe supererogatory acts

Example sentences

• أَيُّ يُقَلِّلُ تَشَاغُلَكُمْ بِالنَّوَافِلِ ؛

  That is, it reduces your preoccupation with the supererogatory acts.

  بِالنَّوَافِلِ — with the supererogatory acts. The prefix bi- here means 'with', marking what the preoccupation is with, on a definite plural noun (al-) for the voluntary acts. The preposition forces the 'of'-style ending and links the busyness to its object: preoccupation with the extra devotions.
