Example sentences
قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ يَقُولُ لِلزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،
He said, "I heard al‑Abbas say to al‑Zubayr ibn al‑Awwam, O Abu Abd Allah,"
لِلزُّبَيْرِ — to al‑Zubayr. Three pieces: the preposition li- ('to'), the article al- ('the'), and the name al-Zubayr, so one word means 'to al-Zubayr'. The li- marks the person spoken to and holds the name in the genitive; here it names the addressee of al-Abbas's speech.
