Example sentences

• وعلى عثمان الذي بابنتي رسول الله حبي،

  And upon Uthman, who is my beloved by the two daughters of the Messenger of Allah.

  بِٱبْنَتَيِّ — by the two daughters. The bi- marks the means or grounds, 'by way of', and the noun after it is a dual, 'the two daughters', a dedicated Arabic form for exactly two that English must spell out with the word 'two'. The bi- governs that dual into the post-preposition form.
