اِسْتَفَادَbenefited

Example sentences

• فَاسْتَفَادَ مِنْهُ فَوَائِدَ جِمَّةً،

  Thus he derived abundant benefits from it.

  فَاسْتَفَادَ — so he benefited. This token fuses fa- ('so/thus') with a past-tense verb. The fa- marks this as the upshot of what preceded, 'thus he...', and the augmented verb pattern gives 'derived benefit'. Its 'he' subject is built into the form.

• وَإِذَا بُلِغَتْكَ أَنَّ أَحْمَقَ اِسْتَفَادَ عُقُولًا فَلا تُصَدِّقْ

  And if it is conveyed to you that a fool has gained sense, then do not believe it.

  اِسْتَفَادَ — he gained. A past-tense verb with its 'he' subject built in, forming the predicate of the reported clause: the claim that the fool acquired understanding. It completes the supposed news. Person and tense live in the verb shape.
