Example sentences

إِنْ تَكُنْ خُنْتَنَا فَعَنْكَ عَفَا اللَّهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ خُنْتُكُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
If you betrayed us, may God forgive you; and if I betrayed you, forgive me.
فَاعْفُ — then forgive. This pairs an attached 'then' answering the second 'if' with a command-form verb 'forgive', so it both closes the condition and issues the request. The 'then' delivers the consequence; the verb is the plea. The order-shape implies its addressee.
