طُولَthroughout

Example sentences

• لَا يُسَامُ مَنْ طَلَبَ اَلْفِقْهَ طُولَ دَهْرِهِ

  One should not reproach anyone who seeks jurisprudence throughout his life.

  طُولَ — throughout. Functions adverbially, in the accusative, to express extent over time, 'for the whole length of', the way Arabic uses the accusative to mark spans without a preposition. It heads a possessive pairing with 'his life' that follows. So it stretches the seeking across an entire lifetime.
