صَالِحَيْنِthe two righteous

Example sentences

• وَسَيْرِ الصَّالِحَيْنِ الزَّاهِدَيْنِ، وَخَوْفِهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَىٰ،

  The conduct of the two pious ascetics and their fear of God the Exalted.

  الصَّالِحَيْنِ — the two righteous. A dual form — Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' shape, folded into the word's ending — naming two righteous men. Where English needs the extra word 'two', the count lives in this word's shape; it is the owned half of 'conduct of the two righteous'.
