Another source lists this as a 3rd person masculine plural perfect verb. Which is correct? Thanks.

This too is correctly tagged here. In Possessive phrases the Noon of sound plural is dropped. It is first Noun of genitive construction-مضاف

Salam Femmy,

It would be very interesting and helpful if you could let us know which is the other website (or source) that you are referring to? This way we could do a full comparison of the two.

Thanks again for the answer. What is the 3rd person masculine plural perfect verb for this word? Does it appear in the Qur'an?

btw, if you need help deciphering the other site (http://quran.bblm.go.id), I'll help you if I can, maybe give you a list of words, e.g. "kata kerja" = "verb".
