	Mansour 8th June, 2011 As salamu 3laykum How can you explain this difference : [11.101] ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ اسم منصوب و«هم» ضمير متصل في محل جر بالاضافة [27.44] ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي اسم مرفوع والياء ضمير متصل في محل جر بالاضافة Why we found Mansub in one case, and marfu3 in the second while it's similar configuration ?
	Asim Iqbal 2nd 9th June, 2011 Mansoob i.e. accusative in both configurations the ya of attached pronoun hides the rafa', nasb, jar while hum doesn't hide rafa' nasb, jar, and so in this case it is obvious, while in the other case it has to be decided based on grammar rules.
