Example sentences

• فأدبر الرجل وهو يقول والله لا أزيد على هذا ولا أنقص منه،

  The man departed saying: 'By Allah, I will not add to or decrease from this.'

  فَأَدْبَرَ — so he departed. This is 'so' plus a Form IV verb 'turned away / departed', subject named next. The Form IV pattern here means 'turn one's back and go'. The 'fa-' moves the scene on; its subject follows.

• وَأَدْبَرَ عَنْ الْخَيْرِ ،

  وَأَدْبَرَ — and turned away. The 'wa-' here is the coordinating 'and', adding this action to the run of things the man did. What follows is a past-tense verb with its 'he' subject built in; its derived shape carries the sense of turning one's back and going away, so the form itself conveys deliberate withdrawal.
