The sixth word of verse (12:21) is divided into 3 morphological segments. A preposition, noun and possessive pronoun. The prefixed preposition lām is usually translated as "for". The noun is feminine and is in the genitive case (مجرور). The noun's triliteral root is mīm rā hamza (م ر أ). The attached possessive pronoun is third person masculine singular. Together the segments form a preposition phrase known as jār wa majrūr (جار ومجرور).

Verse (12:21)

The analysis above refers to the 21st verse of chapter 12 (sūrat yūsuf):

Sahih International: And the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.
