The analysis above refers to the 157th verse of chapter 7 (sūrat l-aʿrāf):

Sahih International: Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.

	FS 13th July, 2011 This noun is a feminine plural (in singular it is masculine but the general rule is that all objects are feminine in their plural). N- accusative feminine plural noun wallahu a'alam
	Abdul Rahman 19th July, 2011 Grammatically speaking, this noun is "feminine singular" -- as is the case with the broken plurals of all inanimate nouns, regardless whether they are masculine or feminine in the singular. Notice that the "ism mauSool" following it is "allati" (FS as well) and the verb "kaanat" (FS). Thus the expression "masculine plural" can only mean that this "the plural of a noun which is masculine in its singular form". Perhaps the tagging could be something like this to reflect this fact: N- accusative feminine singular (plural of masculine singular) noun.
	FS 20th July, 2011 Yes that seems like a good idea and it would clarify things further if that approach was to be taken. wallahu a'alam
