Example sentences

• فَقَالَ لَقَدْ أَضَاقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الْمَرْعَى،

  He said, "Indeed, the pasture has become too narrow for him."

  أَضَاقَ — became narrow. A past-tense verb with its 'he/it' subject built into the shape, here describing how the pasture grew narrow. The doer ('it', the pasture) is named inside the verb, so no separate subject word is needed before the prepositional phrase.
