أدَّىreturn

Example sentences

• فجاءنى بعد حين فقال يا عبد الله أدّ إلى أجرى، فقلت كل ما ترى من أجرك من الإبل والبقر والغنم والرقيق

  After some time, he returned to me and said: 'O Servant of Allah, return my wages to me.' I said: 'Look at everything you see; it is all from your wages: camels, cows, sheep, and servants.'

  أَدِّ — return. This is a command form, an imperative addressed to one listener, so it carries no separate 'you': the order rides in the verb's shape. It opens the demand, 'pay over', and governs both the recipient and the wage that follow.
