From Early Converts to Islam

وَلِهَذَا تَرَى مُدْمِنَ الْخَمْرِ وَالْجِمَاعِ لَا يَلْتَذُّ بِذَلِكَ عُشْرَ الْتِذَاذِ مَنْ لَمْ يُدْمِنْ

This is why you see that the addict to wine and intimacy does not enjoy it even a tenth as much as one who is not addicted.

لَمْ did not

A particle that flips the present-tense verb after it into a negated PAST — 'did not'. It negates the past while sitting on a present-tense form, and it clips that verb's ending short.

From The Discipline of Foresight

مالم يُخرجهُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى إِسْقَاط الْأَمر وَالنَّهْي وَالثَّوَاب وَالْعِقَاب والوعد والوعيد

As long as it does not lead him to dismiss command and prohibition, reward and punishment, promise and warning.

لَمْ did not

'lam' negates the past, but notice it sits in front of a present-tense verb shape, not a past one. Arabic flips that present form back into past meaning and clips its ending short (the jussive) — so one small word does the work English splits across 'did' plus 'not'.

لَمْ did not

From Worship God Alone

وعلى الضدّ من ذلك مَن لم تبقَ له حسنةٌ معتبرة وقد قضاها على الباطل فلا يقوم له وزن؛ أعماله كالسراب أو الرماد في يومٍ عاصف

وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأُمَّةَ لَوْ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوك بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوك إلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ لَك،

Know that if the nation gathered to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah has decreed for you.

إن كان لا يرجى إسلامه لم يجز تعليمه

If his conversion to Islam is not anticipated, it is not permissible to teach him.
