● Important grammar rule:
○ If the subject (mubtadaʾ) contains one masculine and one feminine noun, the predicate always follows the masculine form. In other words, the predicate is masculine dual.
● Example:
○ Zayd and Fāṭimah are righteous. -> زَيْدٌ وَفَاطِمَةُ صَالِحَانِ
■ Zayd is masculine and Fāṭimah is feminine, but the masculine dual form صَالِحَانِ is used for the predicate rather than the feminine form.
