Jazakillahu khair Sister Tahurra
Yes I made a mistake between dhal and dhaw … it is نظیف that I meant.
The first translation is correct. “The hankerchief is clean”, but the second translation is not correct. There is no “is” in that translation … It should be translated as:
The clean hankerchief
As you can see the first one makes a sentence but the second one make a word phrase … like the title of a book or a story. The clue that gives away whether it is Jumla Ismiyya or Shibu Jumla is by looking at the word construction. Of course the difference is ال in the second. It shows where all four attributes of the noun are the same and the words are together then it means they are na’at man’oot i.e. sifa mau’soof or the noun and it’s corresponding adjective.
