Example sentences

فَقَالَ فَإِذَا جَاءَ زَوْجُكِ فَإِقْرَئِي عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ
He said, "When your husband comes, recite the greeting of peace over him."
فاقرئي — recite. This is a command verb addressed to a woman: its feminine ending marks the female addressee, and the 'so/then' connector (fa-) on its front ties it as the response to the 'when he comes' condition. So one word carries the result-link and the gendered order. Arabic marks the addressee's gender right in the command form.
