Example sentences
فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يقدمن أحد منكم إلى شيء حتى أكون أنا دونه
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'None of you should advance towards anything until I am ahead of him.'
يُقَدِّمَنَّ — should advance. A present-tense verb in the intensive pattern with the heavy emphatic ending attached, so it means 'shall by no means advance'. That doubled ending is a stress device Arabic adds to drive home a command or ban; here it turns 'do not advance' into a forceful 'let no one dare advance'.
