ثَلاَثٍthree

Example sentences

• إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ ثَلاَثٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ،

  I ask you about three things that no one knows except a prophet.

  ثَلاَثٍ — three. A numeral 'three' standing for the three matters, in the 'of'-type ending demanded by the preposition before it. It holds the place of the things asked about, its ending set by what governs it rather than by its own meaning.
