Arabic vocabulary
صديق is how you say “Truthful One” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
بَلْ قِيلَ لِلصِّدِّيقِ وَقَدْ تَلَا آيَةً هَذَا كَلَامُكَ وَكَلَامُ صَاحِبِكَ؟
Rather, it was said to the Truthful One as he recited a verse: 'Is this your word and the word of your companion?'
لِلصِّدِّيقِ — to the Truthful One. This stacks a 'to/for' prefix, the definite 'the', and a title noun (the Truthful One, a name for Abu Bakr). The prefix marks him as the one addressed, and the form he takes is the one a preposition governs. So the single word means 'to the Truthful One'.
