We know that when we speak about more than one of a thing in Arabic we should pluralize the noun just like in English. For example, three houses (ثلاثة منازل instead of ثلاثة منزل).
But in 12:4 (Surah al-Yusuf, verse 4) we have احد عشر کوکب instead of احد عشر کواکب:
> اِذ قالَ یوسُفُ لِأبیهِ یا اَبَتی إنّی رَأیتُ اَحَدَ عَشَرَ کَوکَبا وَ الشَّمسَ وَ القَمَرَ رَأیتُهُم لی ساجِدین
Why does that not follow the rule?
