Example sentences

• وَظَلَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَلَا يَرَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَمْسَى،

  And that continued throughout the day, and the Prophet did not see him until evening.

  وَظَلَّ — and continued. Opens with wa- 'and', adding this on, and the verb is one of the 'kept on being' kind that sets up a lasting state rather than a one-off act. Its 'it' subject is built in, and it frames the situation as continuing.
