اِشْرَبْ drink

A command verb 'drink', addressed to one person ('you'), so no subject pronoun appears; its opening vowel is sounded only when it begins the utterance. A command verb already implies its addressee. Arabic forms the order by the bare command shape.

From Generosity to the Poor

فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُ اِشْرَبْ

He kept saying, "Drink."

اِشْرَبْ drink

A command form aimed at one person: the bare verb stem with no subject word, since the 'you' is understood from the imperative shape itself. Arabic strips the present-tense prefix to build a command, which is why this looks shorter than the matching statement verb. It is the quoted speech being reported, the actual word urged on the listener.

From Generosity to the Poor

فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَامِرُ اِشْرَبْ مَا فِي النُّهُرِ

Then the moon said to him, "Drink what is in the river."

اشْرب Drink

A command form (imperative) addressed to a single 'you'; the order to drink is built straight into the verb with no separate 'you'. The initial vowel is the helping vowel Arabic adds so the cluster can be pronounced. The bare verb shape is itself the signal that this is an order.

قَالَ إِذَا أَتَاكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ لَكَ اِشْرَبْ مَا فِي النَّهْرِ

He said, "If a man comes to you and tells you, 'Drink what is in the river.'"

اِشْرَبْ drink

A command form, 'drink!', the order quoted inside the imagined scene. The 'you' addressee is carried inside the verb; the bare imperative shape is itself the order, with the helping initial vowel just easing pronunciation.

From Luqman's Wisdom and Trial

قَالَ لَهُ نِعْمَ اِشْرَبْ مَا بَيْنَ الضِّفَّتَيْنِ أَوْ الْمَدَّ

He said to him, "All right, drink what is between the two banks or the tide."

اِشْرَبْ drink

A command form, 'drink!', following the assent. The 'you' addressee is inside the verb; the bare imperative shape is the order, with the initial vowel easing pronunciation. The thing offered to drink follows.
