Arabic vocabulary
How to say “whispers” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ولكن تصده عن الحق شهوات النفس، ووساوس الشيطان، ومجالسة الأشرار، وطول الأمل، وحب الدنيا
But desires of the self, whispers of Satan, keeping company with the wicked, long hopes, and love of the world divert it from the truth.
وَسَاوِسُ — whispers of. This is the first half of 'whispers of Satan', another subject of 'divert', so it stands in the subject case. It owns the link with the noun after it and gives up its own 'the', joining the list of diverting forces.
