Example sentences

وَقَوْلُهُمْ لِلْحِيطَانِ آذَانٌ، مَذْكُورٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَفِيكُمْ سَمَّاعُونَ لَهُمْ
And their saying: 'Walls have ears' is mentioned in His saying: 'And among you are listeners to them.'
لِلْحِيطَانِ — for the walls. This is the preposition 'for, to' merged with 'the walls' (definite via 'al-'). It sets up a possession-by-preposition frame, 'to the walls belong...', the Arabic way of saying walls have something. The prefix forces a genitive on the noun.
