And the trial of bad companions who corrupt the heart and waste time.

From: Returning to God →
وانقضى زمان الدلال وفات وقت النشوز،
The time of indulgence has ended, and the moments of rebellion have passed.
وَقْتُ — the moments. This is the subject of 'passed', placed after its verb and carrying the subject ending, and it heads a possessive pairing, 'the time of defiance'. So it both slips away and opens the 'of' relationship completed by the next word.
