أَهَانَinsult

Example sentences

• وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَهَانَ لِي وَلِيًّا أَوْ أَخَافَهُ فَقَدْ بَارَزَنِي بِالْمُحَارَبَةِ وَبَارَانِي،

  And know that whoever insults for me a close ally or frightens him, has thereby declared war against me and has contended with me.

  أَهَانَ — insults. This is a past-tense verb of insulting, the condition's action under 'whoever', with a singular 'he' subject built into its form. After the conditional word the past shape carries an if-it-happens sense rather than a fixed past fact. It is the first triggering deed in the if-then.
