How to say “restrains” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَمَنْ يُوَقِّ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمْ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
And whoever restrains the stinginess of his soul, those are the successful.
يُوَقِّ — restrains. This present-tense verb carries its own 'he' subject and is the act inside the condition. Its clipped ending reflects the conditional frame 'whoever' sets up, marking it as the if-side of the sentence.
