From a fully vowelled text
وَأَمَّا الْفَرِّيسِيُّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذلِكَ تَعَجَّبَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ أَوَّلاً قَبْلَ الْغَدَاءِ.And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.Luke 11:38, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَأَرْسَلَ أَيْضًا عَبِيدًا آخَرِينَ قَائِلاً: قُولُوا لِلْمَدْعُوِّينَ: هُوَذَا غَدَائِي أَعْدَدْتُهُ. ثِيرَانِي وَمُسَمَّنَاتِي قَدْ ذُبِحَتْ، وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُعَدٌّ. تَعَالَوْا إِلَى الْعُرْسِ!Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.Matthew 22:4, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
