Example sentences

• قَالَ فَلَعَلِّي إِنْ عَدَلَتْ فِي قِسْمَتِهَا أَنْ يَقُولَ بَعْضٌ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُرْزَقْ مِنْهَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْدِلْ فِي قِسْمَتِهَا فَيَأْثَمُ أَرُوْهَا عَنِّي رَوَى اللَّهُ عَنكَ أَوْزَارُكَ

  He said, "So perhaps if she were just in dividing it, some of those who were not provided from it might say that he did not act fairly in dividing it, and so he sins. Keep it away from me. May God relieve you of your burdens."

  يَعْدِلْ — he act fairly. A present-shaped verb whose 'ya-' prefix gives it a 'he' subject, again sitting under the past-negator earlier in the clause, which clips its ending. That pairing denies a completed action: he did not act fairly, with the verb's form, not a separate tense word, carrying the negation.

• أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْدِلْ فِي قِسْمَتِهَا فَيَأْثَمُ

  that he did not act fairly in dividing it, and so he commits a sin

  يَعْدِلْ — he act fairly. A present-shaped verb whose 'ya-' prefix carries a 'he' subject inside it, here governed by the past-negator before it, which trims its ending. The two together deny a finished act of fairness, with the verb's clipped form, not a separate word, doing the negating.
