● In an iḍāfah, a pronoun may be used in place of an explicit noun as the muḍāf ilayh.
● For example:
○ Zayd's book -> كِتَابُ زَيْدٍ (An explicit noun is the muḍāf ilayh.)
○ His book -> كِتَابُهُ (A pronoun is the muḍāf ilayh.)
● Since the muḍāf ilayh is always genitive, the pronouns used in an iḍāfah are called attached accusative and genitive pronouns because they are written joined to the muḍāf.
