Example sentence

فقال إن ربي غضب غضباً لم يغضب قبله مثله، ولا يغضب بعده مثله، وإنه نهاني عن الشجرة، فعصيت، نفسي نفسي نفسي، اذهبوا إلى غيري،

He said: "My Lord has become angry with an anger unlike any anger before or after. He forbade me from the tree, and I disobeyed. Myself, myself, myself! Go to someone else."

فَعَصَيْتُ and I disobeyed

The connector fa- 'so/then' fused to a past-tense verb carrying an 'I' ending. Fa- marks the disobedience as following straight from the prohibition, and the first-person subject is built into the verb, so it reads 'so I disobeyed'.

From The Prophet's Intercession
