Arabic vocabulary
How to say “remain” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فقال رسول الله والذي نفسي بيده لو تدومون على ما تكونون عندي وفي الذكر لصافحتكم الملائكة على فرشكم وفي طرقكم، ولكن يا حنظلة ساعة وساعة ثلاث مرات،
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, if you remained in the state that you are with me and in remembrance, the angels would shake hands with you in your beds and on your paths. But, O Hanzala, a time and a time.' He repeated this three times.
تَدُومُونَ — you remained. A present verb 'persist / keep on', sound masculine plural ('-una' = 'you all'), in the counterfactual clause — 'if you stayed continually...'. It pairs with the preposition next to say persisting IN what state.
