Example sentence

وَاحْذَرْ أَنْ تَتَبَّعَ سَبِيلَ أَحَدِ رَجُلَيْنِ

And beware that you follow the path of either of two men:

رجلينِ two men

This is the dual, a form English lacks: 'exactly two men' folded into the noun's own ending rather than spelled with a separate 'two'. It sits in the dependent form after the 'one of' before it, so the count is carried by the word's shape.

Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, felt a lightness within his self, so he went out between two men.

رَجُلَيْنِ two men

This is the dual, Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form, folded into the noun's ending so no separate word for 'two' is needed; it sits in the genitive after 'between'. The count of two men is carried by the word's shape itself.

From Prayer During Illness

وَإِنْ الرَّجُلَيْنِ لَا يَسْتَوِيَانِ فِي أَعْمَالِ الْبِرِّ

And indeed, the two men are not equal in deeds of righteousness,

الرَّجُلَيْنِ the two men

This is the dual, Arabic's built-in 'exactly two', carried by the noun's ending rather than a separate 'two' word; its al- makes it definite, 'the two men'. It is the subject of the verb that follows. The dual ending is what tells you precisely two are meant.
