تَغْتَرَّْbe deceived

Example sentences

• وَلَا تَغْتَرَّْ بِسَعَةِ بِسَاطٍ الْحُلْمِ؛

  Do not be deceived by the wide expanse of forbearance.

  تغترر — be deceived. A present-tense 'you' verb on a self-affecting pattern, here passive in sense, 'be taken in / be deceived'. The prohibitive negator before it has clipped it into the jussive shape and turned it into a 'do not...' command. So two things sit here: the trimmed ending marks it as forbidden, and the pattern makes the subject the one fooled.
