Example sentences

• إِنَّ لَهُ لَأَجْرَيْنِ ـ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ ـ إِنَّهُ لَجَاهِدٌ مُجَاهِدٌ،

  Indeed for him are two rewards—and he pressed his two fingers together—indeed he is a striver who exerts himself.

  لَأَجْرَيْنِ — truly two rewards. An emphasis-prefix fused to a noun that is in the dual, Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form. The prefix doubles down on the assertion of the previous particle, while the dual ending packs 'two rewards' into the noun's shape with no separate word for 'two'.
