ذَكَرْتُI mentioned

Example sentences

• فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةِ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةِ،

  So I mentioned what I had said to Hafsa and Umm Salama,

  فَذَكَرْتُ — So I mentioned. The opening fa- is a connector that ties this whole report to what came just before, giving it a 'so, in response' flavour rather than mere addition the way wa- would. Fused onto the front of the verb is the past-tense 'I' subject, carried inside the word's ending rather than by a separate pronoun, so one Arabic word already packs the link, the tense, and the speaker.
