ثَلَاثَةthree

Example sentences

• الذِّكرُ النافعُ يجمعُ ثلاثةَ أمور

  Beneficial remembrance encompasses three aspects:

  ثَلَاثَةَ — three. 'three', accusative as the object of 'gathers', and head of an 'of' pairing with 'matters'. Note: the number 'three' takes its counted noun in the genitive plural, and for non-human counts the number flips to the opposite gender — which is why it wears its feminine ending here.

• فقال رسول الله والذي نفسي بيده لو تدومون على ما تكونون عندي وفي الذكر لصافحتكم الملائكة على فرشكم وفي طرقكم، ولكن يا حنظلة ساعة وساعة ثلاث مرات،

  The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, if you remained in the state that you are with me and in remembrance, the angels would shake hands with you in your beds and on your paths. But, O Hanzala, a time and a time.' He repeated this three times.

  ثَلَاثَ — three. This is the number 'three', in the accusative as a count-adverb — 'three times'. It tells how often the Prophet repeated the saying. It pairs with the counted noun next.

• وما يذكره أصحاب أحمد في مسائل الخلاف إن إيجاب هذه الأذكار من مفردات أحمد عن الثلاثة؛

  And what the followers of Ahmad mention in issues of disagreement: making these remembrances obligatory is unique to Ahmad, apart from the three others.

  الثَّلَاثَةِ — the three others. The 'the' makes this number-noun definite, 'the three', and it sits in the genitive because the preposition 'apart from' governs it. It refers compactly to the other three named authorities being set against Ahmad.

  From: Praise and Supplication in Prayer →

• سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول انطلق ثلاثة نفر ممن كان قبلكم حتى آواهم المبيت إلى غار فدخلوه،

  I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say: 'Three men from those before you set out, and night forced them to take shelter in a cave. They entered it.'

  ثَلَاثَةُ — three. This is the number 'three' acting as the subject of 'set out', and it heads a counting pairing with the noun after it. In this teens-and-below counting pattern the counted noun takes the 'of' (genitive) form, so 'three' governs 'men' much like 'a trio of men'.
