Example sentences

فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَعْرِفَةٌ وَعِلْمٌ زَادَ فِي السَّعْيِ وَالْجَمْزِ بِقَدْرِ التِّفَاتِهِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ،
If he has familiarity and knowledge, he increases his effort and steadfastness in proportion to how often he turns to him, or even more.
التِّفَاتِهِ — his turning. A verbal noun ('his turning/glancing') carrying -hi ('his'), completing the 'of' pairing with 'measure' before it: 'in proportion to his turning'. The verbal noun compresses a whole 'how often he turns' clause into one possessed noun, and the attached possessor pins it to the man. So it states the yardstick of his effort.
