More example sentences

ويؤخره، ولم يأمر به

and he delayed it, and did not command it.

وَيُؤَخِّرُهُ and he delayed it

'and would put it later' — 'wa' plus present 'delays it', with 'it' attached; form-II; it continues the past habit from 'kana'.

From The Opening Chapter

فأخر السؤال عن الحمد والثناء والمجد،

So he placed the request after the praise, glorification, and exaltation.

فَأَخَّرَ so he postponed

The fa- here marks a logical upshot, 'and so', drawing a conclusion from the preceding quotation. The past-tense verb it carries names the act of placing the request later, with its third-person subject built in, so the connector ties this inference to the saying just cited.

From Praise and Supplication in Prayer

وما داوم عليه وقدمه وأمر به أفضل مما كان يفعله أحياناً، ويؤخره، ولم يأمر به

And what he persisted in and ordered is better than what he occasionally did, delayed, and did not order.

وَيُؤَخِّرُهُ delayed it

The wa- coordinates another present-tense verb onto the chain, still under the 'used to' frame, and it carries an attached '-it' object. So the connector adds 'and would delay it' to the list of how he treated the lesser practice, the suffix pointing to the same thing.
