وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَهَانَ لِي وَلِيًّا أَوْ أَخَافَهُ فَقَدْ بَارَزَنِي بِالْمُحَارَبَةِ وَبَارَانِي،
And know that whoever insults for me a close ally or frightens him, has thereby declared war against me and has contended with me.
وَبَارَانِي — and has contended with me. The wa- on the front is 'and', joining a second result verb, and -ni ('me') is fused to its end, so one word means 'and has contended with me'. The wa- links this consequence to the previous one, and the object pronoun is again the speaker. Together they double the declared outcome of the offence.
