Example sentences

• ولا يدع التجمل، ولا يمتنع من لبس جيد الثياب،

  He did not forsake adornment and did not refrain from wearing fine clothes,

  يَمْتَنِعُ — he refrains. This present-tense verb has its 'he' subject inside and, after the negator, denies an ongoing habit. Its plain present ending marks a general, repeated non-action.
