And whoever is slowed by his deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage.
لَمْ will not
This small word does two jobs at once: it turns the present-tense verb after it into a negated past ('did not'), and it clips that verb's ending to a bare stop. So the verb ahead looks present but means 'will not / did not'.
