نَشَاطٌ (١): أَقْرَأُ النَّصَّ الآتِيَ وَأَسْتَخْرِجُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ كَلِمَةٍ تَنْتَهِي بِأَلِفٍ لَيِّنَةٍ مُبَيِّنًا سَبَبَ كِتَابَتِهَا عَلَى الصُّورَةِ الَّتِي جَاءَتْ عَلَيْهَا:

Activity (1): Read the following text and extract every word ending in a soft alif, explaining why it is written in its current form:

«أَخَذَ العَجُوزُ الأَعْمَى يَتَعَثَّرُ فِي مَشْيِهِ، وَفِي يَدِهِ عَصًا، فَدَنَا مِنْهُ مُوسَى وَهُوَ فَتًى خَلُوقٌ، فَأَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهِ وَمَرَّ بِهِ فِي جَنَبَاتِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ: جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا يَا بُنَيَّ».

"The blind old man stumbled as he walked, holding a staff. Musa, a well-mannered youth, approached him, took his hand, and guided him along the side of the road. The man said to him, 'May God reward you, my son.'"
