Example sentences
فسأل عنه الشعبي، فقال ادخل المسجد، عافاك الله،
He asked about him to Al-Sha'bi, who said: Enter the mosque, may God protect you,
فَسَأَلَ — so he asked. The opening particle marks the next beat, and the verb folds in its 'he' subject: 'so he asked'. One word both advances the narrative and supplies the action.
