Translation of "أَحَبُّ" in English

أَحَبُّ نظريّة علمية إليّ هي أن حلقات زحل مكونة بالكامل من الأمتعة المفقودة.

The scientific theory I like the best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost luggage.

إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَكُبَّهُ اللَّهُ فِي النَّارِ.

I give to a person while another is dearer to me, for fear that he might be thrown on his face in the Fire by Allah.
