Example sentences
وَيَغْضَبُونَ لِمَحَارِمِي إِذَا اِسْتُحِلَّتْ كَمًّا يَغْضَبُ النَّمِرُ إِذَا حُرِبَ
And they become angry for my forbidden things when they are treated as permissible, just as the tiger becomes angry when it is attacked.
النمر — the tiger. This is a definite singular noun, carrying 'the', used to stand for the whole species rather than one particular animal. It is the doer of the verb just before it, sitting after its verb in the usual verb-first arrangement. The generic 'the' is how Arabic turns one tiger into tigers-in-general.
