فَضْلُvirtue

Example sentences

• وَفَضْلُ مَالِهِ مَبْذُولٌ

  And the virtue of his wealth is spent.

  وَفَضْلُ — and virtue. Opens with a coordinating 'wa-' that links this clause to the run of parallel statements about the man. The noun it carries heads a possessive pairing with the next word, 'the merit of his wealth', and as the subject of a verbless clause it sits in the subject case. The connector keeps the balanced list going.
