Example sentences

• وَلِهَذَا كَانَ بِعَضِّ الشُّيُوخِ إِذَا أَمَرَ مُتَّبِعِيهِ بِالتَّوْبَةِ

  For this reason, when some of the sheikhs would order their followers to repent,

  مُتَّبِعِيهِ — his followers. A noun 'followers' carrying a 'his' ending, so the word means 'his followers', the object of the ordering. The possessor reaches back to the elder doing the ordering, fused onto the noun rather than separate.
