Grammar Rules

Indefinite noun
طَاعَةٌۭ ((Is) obedience) has no ال and takes tanwīn (the "n" sound at the end), so it means "a" or "some" — not a specific one.
We translate it as "a/an" or leave it general.

Sahih International

Obedience and good words. And when the matter [of fighting] was determined, if they had been true to Allāh, it would have been better for them.
