Example sentences

فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ الْمَوْلَى سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى مِنْ ضَعْفِ ابْنِ آدَمَ
When the Lord, glory be to Him and the Exalted, knew of the weakness of the son of Adam.
ضَعْفِ — weakness of. This noun is the head of a possessive pairing: it owns the words that follow, giving 'the weakness of the son of Adam'. Arabic builds 'X of Y' by setting the two nouns side by side with no separate 'of', and the head noun drops its own 'the', taking its definiteness from the owner downstream.
