كَدَرَ will be clouded

The same verb repeated as the result of the condition: clouding done by the person is answered by clouding visited back upon him. The repetition is the point, so the two identical forms mirror the deed and its return. Arabic lets the bare repeated verb carry that 'as you do, so is done to you' echo.
