Example sentences

• فَقَالَ الآخَرُ لَكِنِّي مَعَ رَجُلٍ إِنْ أَكَلَ لَمْ يَسْمِ اللَّهَ فَأَكَلْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ جَمِيعًا

  The other said, 'But I am with a man; if he eats without saying the name of God, then I and he eat together.'

  يَسْمْ — he says. A present-tense verb forced into the cut-off (jussive) shape by the 'did not' before it, so together they mean 'he did not name (God)'. The clipped ending is the trigger's mark on the verb.
