Arabic vocabulary
نِسَاءُ is how you say “women” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَغَدًا الصَّحَابَةُ الْكِرَامُ رِجَالُهُمْ وَنِسَاءُهُمْ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
So the next morning the noble Companions, both men and women among them, asked the Messenger of God.
وَنِسَاءُهُمْ — and their women. The connector wa- ('and') fused onto a noun ending in -hum ('their') — 'and their women'. The wa- coordinates this with 'their men' to complete the breakdown of the Companions into both sexes. The -hum points back to the same group, balancing the pair of subjects.
