Example sentence

وَيَحُثُّ عَلَى السَّيْرِ وَالتَّشْمِيرِ لِلْحَاقِ بِهِمْ

And he urges setting out and tucking up one's sleeves to catch up with them.

وَالتَّشْمِيرِ and the tucking up of the sleeves

The wa- joins a second thing urged, 'and the rolling-up of sleeves', alongside setting out, so it links two parallel goals of the same urging. The noun keeps the definite al- and the genitive ending shared under 'upon'. The connector keeps the two parallel; the phrase is a classical idiom for getting ready to go.
