Example sentences

• إِحْدَاهُمَا أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ جُنْدِهِمْ وَأَتْبَاعِهِمْ

  One of the two is that he be among their troops and their followers.

  جُنْدِهِمْ — their troops. A noun with -hum ('their') fused to its end, in the genitive because 'among' governs it. The attached pronoun points back to Satan and his side, marking these as their troops, the group the man would join.

• كَمَا قَالَ القَائِلُ وَكُنتُ امْرَأً مِنْ جُنْدِ إِبْلِيسِ

  As the speaker said, I was one of Iblis's troops.

  جُنْدِ — troops of. A collective noun in the genitive after 'from', and it heads a possessive pairing with the name after it ('troops of Iblis'). As the first term it drops its own 'the' and takes definiteness from the owner that follows.
