سِلٌّask

Example sentences

• وحسن الثناء عليه شيئاً لم يفتح على أحد قبلي ثم يقال يا محمد ارفع رأسك، سل تعطه، واشفع تشفع،

  The praise of him was so excellent, something not granted to anyone before me. Then it is said, O Muhammad, raise your head, ask and you will be given, and intercede and your intercession will be accepted.

  سِلٌّ — ask. A command to ask, paired with the verb after it in a condition-and-result chain: 'ask (and) you will be given', where the first imperative sets the condition for the second. The bare form carries 'you'.
