Lesson Review
Before continuing into some more complex subjects in grammar, let’s return briefly back to the
basics and take a look at the big picture of status. First of all, where is رفعused?
1. Doer – حسْنى ْ س
ُ ت َ دَ َر
2. Mubtada – أكبر
ُ ُهللا
3. Khabr – أكبر
ُ ُ( هللاunless كانmakes the khabr nasb)
ُ ِقُتِ َل – )نَائ
4. Doer in a passive fi’l (ب الفاعل
5. The follower of رفعis رفع
In these instances, the رفعstatus is always describing an ism, and we can tell the status is رفع
by its ending sound or ending combination. In more advanced sentences, that will not
necessarily be the case. For example:
Now what happens when the fi’l يَنا ُمis used in the same place?
َر ُح ٌل يَنا ُم
It’s still a موصوف صفة, but a type that only works when the موصوفis common and is
followed by a fi’l.
Everything is supposed to match in a موصوف صفة, so we’ll say that يَنامis a فعل مضارع في محل
رفع. The same thing would happen if the موصوفis نصبor جر, and the only thing that would
change is في محل نصبor في محل جر.

Note that there is a slight difference in meaning between the two fragments. As we said
previously, رج ٌل نائ ٌمmeans “a sleeping man.” رج ٌل َينا ُمhas two possible meanings: “a man who
sleeps” and “a man trying to sleep”.
َ َُر ُج ٌل ي
ص ِل ْي َ ُالر ُج ُل الذي ي
ص ِل ْي َّ
a man who prays the man who prays
In summary, when a fi’l follows a common ism, it’s a موصوف صفة. If the ism is proper, we have
to use ( الذيor one of its family members) to make it a موصوف صفة.
