نَفَعَbenefit in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَلَا يَنْفَعهُ الدُّعَاء

  So the supplication does not benefit him.

  يَنْفَعُهُ — benefit him. Present-tense 'benefits', with 'him' attached as object — 'benefits him'. Under the 'la' it reads as an ongoing 'does not benefit him'; the subject 'the supplication' comes next.

• فإن انتفعت وعقدت مع الله عقدا ، فقد توسمت فيك الخير ،

  For if you benefit and make a covenant with God, then I have perceived goodness in you,

  انْتَفَعْتَ — you have benefited. This is a past-tense verb, 'you benefited', with the attached -ta 'you' as subject, to a single male. After 'if', the past form states the hypothetical condition though the sense looks forward; the doer rides as that suffix.
