يُسَارِعhasten in Arabic

Example sentences

• العاقل يرى بنور فكره عواقب الأمور قبل وقوعها، فيتجنب ما يخاف سوء عاقبته، ويسارع إلى ما يرجو حسن عاقبته

  "The wise person sees, with the light of his thought, the consequences of matters before they occur. He avoids what he fears will have a bad outcome, and hastens toward what he hopes will have a good outcome."

  وَيُسَارِعُ — and he hastens. The wa- joins the parallel clause, and the verb means 'he hastens', with 'he' built in. It mirrors the earlier 'avoids', setting the positive half of the contrast against the negative.
