ذَكَرْmentioned

Example sentences

• وَقَدْ ذَكَرْنَا أَنَّ الحُمْقَ فَسَادٌ فِي الْعَقْلَيْنِ أَوْ فِي الذِّهْنِ،

  We have mentioned that folly is a corruption in the two intellects or in the mind,

  ذَكَرْنَا — we mentioned. This is a past-tense verb carrying its subject inside it: the ending -na means 'we', so no separate pronoun is needed. It reports a completed act of mentioning, and what was mentioned is delivered by the 'that' clause coming next. The first-person plural is the authorial 'we' typical of the genre.
