And an example analogous to "Mālik of the Day of Recompense" in the genitive case, followed by returning to direct address with "You [alone] we worship"—for the reasons we mentioned earlier—is the famous line from the poetry of Abū Kabīr al-Hudhalī:

Oh, grief of my soul! What freshness did Khālid possess, ... while the whiteness of your face is given over to the dusty earth! (1)

So he returned to direct address with his saying, "and the whiteness of your face," after the report about Khālid had proceeded in the manner of reporting about an absent third person.

And another example is the saying of Labīd ibn Rabīʿa:

My soul spent the night sobbing to me in tears, ... though I have borne you seventy years after seven! (2)

So he returned to directly addressing his soul, after the report about it had preceded in the manner of reporting about an absent third person.

And another example is the statement of God—and He is the most truthful in speech and the most firm in proof: {until when you are in ships and they sail with them with a good wind} [Sūrat Yūnus: 22], for He addressed directly, then returned to reporting in the third person, and He did not say: "and they sail with you." The textual attestations from poetry and the speech of the Arabs regarding that are too numerous to count, and in what we have mentioned there is sufficiency for whoever is granted success in understanding it.

Therefore, the recitation "Mālika yaumi 'd-dīn" [with Mālik in the accusative] is prohibited and impermissible, due to the consensus of all authoritative Quranic reciters and scholars of the Muslim community in rejecting reading with it.
