سَرِقَةtheft

Example sentences

• مِمَّا فِيهِ حَدٌّ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَالْقَتْلِ وَالزِّنَا وَالسَّرِقَةِ،

  which have prescribed punishment in this world, such as killing, fornication, and theft,

  وَالسَّرِقَةِ — and the theft. A fused 'and' plus a noun with 'the', 'and the theft', the last example, again in the (genitive) form under the earlier 'like'. It closes the sample list.

• وإن تعانى سرقة الأجزاء ، أو كشط الأوقاف ، فهذا لص بسمت محدث ،

  And if he engages in stealing parts or scraping endowments, then he is a thief in the guise of a narrator,

  سَرِقَةَ — stealing. This action-noun, 'stealing', is in the object ending as the direct object of 'he engaged in', and it heads a possessive pairing with the next word, owning it. So it is both the object of the verb and the owner of 'the parts', with no spoken 'of'.
