رُبَّ صَائِمٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْ صَوْمِهِ إِلَّا الْجُوعُ وَالْعَطَشُ، وَرُبَّ قَائِمٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْ قِيَامِهِ إِلَّا السَّهَرُ
'Perhaps a fasting person gains nothing from his fast except hunger and thirst, and perhaps one who prays gains nothing from his prayer except sleeplessness.'
وَالْعَطَشُ — and thirst. The connector 'and' joined to a definite noun, 'the thirst', paired with 'the hunger', both carrying 'the'. It adds the second thing left after the exception, parallel to the first.
