نُهِيَprohibited

Example sentences

• وَأما الْحزن فَلم يَأْمر الله بِهِ وَلَا رَسُوله بل قد نهى عَنهُ فِي مَوَاضِع

  As for sadness, God did not command it, nor did His Messenger; rather, it has been prohibited in certain places.

  نُهِيَ — was prohibited. Passive verb, 'it was forbidden'. The passive form, made by reshaping the vowels inside the verb rather than adding a helper word, means sadness is the thing forbidden, with the forbidder left unnamed, exactly what English signals with 'was'.
