يُمَارِيargue

Example sentences

• فقال من طلب العلم ليجاري به العلماء، ويماري به السفهاء، ويصرف به وجوه الناس اليه أدخله الله النار

  He said: 'Whoever seeks knowledge to compete with the scholars, or to argue with the foolish, or to turn people's faces towards him, Allah will admit him into the Fire.'

  وَيُمَارِيَ — or to argue with. Joined by 'and', a second purpose verb parallel to the first, and it too is pushed into the subjunctive shape by the purpose-marker still in force from earlier. The verb carries its 'he' subject; the changed ending keeps signalling 'in order to'.
