Example sentences

• فَقَالَ تَعَالَىٰ وَاصْبِرُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

  Then the Exalted said, "And be patient; indeed, Allah is with the patient."

  وَاصْبِرُوا — and be patient. wa- joins this command to the quoted speech, and the verb is a plural order ('you all, be patient'). The plural is built into the verb's ending, so one word addresses a whole group with a directive.
