• وَقُلْ يُسْمَعْ، وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ، وَاِشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ

  Say, and it will be heard; ask, and you will be given; intercede, and you will be granted intercession.

  وَسَلْ — and ask. Opens with the linking wa- and continues with a command to one person, 'ask', the second of the three matched command-and-result pairs. It sets up a conditional-like structure with the result-verb that follows, 'ask, and you will be given'. The connective lines this pair up beside the first.
