يَدْفَعُrepel/push

Example sentences

• وهو الناصر فإن العبد إذا وقع في شدة فإما أن يدفعها بقوته أو قوة من ينصره وكلاهما معدوم في حقه

  He is the helper, for when the servant falls into distress, he may either repel it with his own strength or with the strength of someone who helps him; both of these are absent in his case.

  يَدْفَعَهَا — repel it. This verb sits in the subjunctive shape demanded by the particle an before it, and it carries an attached 'it' as its object, pointing back to the distress. So one word holds the verb plus its object; the subjunctive ending marks it as the contemplated action, not a stated fact.
