يُصِيبَhit

Example sentences

• وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَا أَخْطَأَك لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُصِيبَك،

  And know that what missed you was never going to reach you.

  لِيُصِيبَكَ — to hit you. After 'was not', this 'li-' plus a subjunctive verb forms a flat denial of any possibility: 'was not [destined] to befall you'. The 'li-' triggers the subjunctive '-a' ending, ruling the event out as never in your fate; '-ka' is the object 'you'.
