نَحْوَ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: «مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا».
Translation: As in the Qurʾānic expression: “From this town whose people are wrongdoers.”
The expression is from Sūrat al-Nisāʾ 4:75. Al-qaryah is feminine, yet al-ẓālim is masculine because its quality belongs to ahluhā, the town’s people: a key case of relational naʿt.
