Example sentences

• قَالَتْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُكَ وَأَشْهَدُ رَسُولَكَ أَنِّي قَدْ رَضِيتُ عَنْ إِبْنِي

  She said, "O Allah, I testify to You and to Your Messenger that I am satisfied with my son."

  رَضِيتُ — I am satisfied. This is a completed-action verb with the 'I' subject built into its -tu ending, so no separate pronoun is needed. Although it wears the past shape, this root often describes a continuing state of being pleased, which is why English renders it as a present feeling. It states the very thing the witnessing confirms.
