ادعُواpray in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَقَالَ إِنَّي أَرَاكُمَا قَدْ دَعَوْتُمَا عَلَيَّ فَادْعُوا لِي،

  So he said, "I see that you two have prayed against me, so pray for me."

  فَادْعُوَا — so pray. The fa- here means 'so, therefore', drawing a request out of the preceding observation; the verb is a command. As an order aimed at the two listeners, it switches into the imperative shape rather than the plain present.
