فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ـ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ـ دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَضْرِبْ عُنْقَهُ
So Umar, may God be pleased with him, said, "Leave me, O Messenger of God; let me cut off his neck."
أَضْرِبْ — let me cut off. A verb in the bare command-style shape used here for a wish or request, its subject 'I' understood from context as the speaker volunteering. The clipped ending marks it as a non-realis request rather than a plain statement of fact, so it reads as 'let me' do the act.
